About me

I’m a Courant Instructor at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences working with Mike O'Neil and Leslie Greengard.

I obtained my PhD from the University of Maryland’s Department of Computer Science, where I was advised by Masha Cameron and Ramani Duraiswami. Before that, I received an MS in electrical engineering, also from the University of Maryland. Earlier still, I obtained a BS in mathematics from the University of Washington in my hometown of Seattle.

Broadly, my research is in computational science and engineering. In my dissertation, I introduced a new class of numerical algorithms for solving the eikonal equation, termed jet marching methods. These solvers were purpose built for problems in computational room acoustics, to which they were applied. I’ve also done work related to high-frequency wave propagation, stochastic differential equations, planetary science, signal processing, and data compression.
