Bio

I’m a 3rd year Ph.D. student in UC Santa Barbara’s math department working under Katy Craig.

Research Interests

My research focuses on applications of Wasserstein gradient flows to PDE’s and data science. I am broadly interested in analysis, optimal transport, stochastic dynamics, and the ways geometric ideas can be used to understand evolution equations and high-dimensional problems. On the side, I enjoy playing around with tools from geometric analysis.

Current Seminar

I am currently organizing the Malliavin Calculus Seminar. Past and current seminars are listed on the Seminars page.

Teaching & Mentoring

I care about clear mathematical exposition and helping students build confidence with abstract ideas. You can find more about my teaching and mentoring work on my Teaching & Mentoring page.

Publications

Papers, preprints, and research notes will be collected on my Publications page.
