Interests:

While my research background is in material physics and optics, I joined the Computational Science program at San Diego State University in order to learn a wide variety of computational skills. Currently, my Ph.D. research utilizes nonlinear optimization techniques and FDTD methods. I joined the Math Clinic at a partner university which worked on the development of faultlines in fracture networks. That work has opened my interests to the fields of machine learning and data science.

Non-Work Related Activities/Interests:

Outside of my research, I work as the president of the SIAM Student Chapter at SDSU to develop strong industry connections. In the past year, I have connected with different industry professionals and invited them to come and share their career paths with students. In my free time, I play the violin in a community orchestra and mentor young girls at my local community center in math and science.
