Coursework Overview:

To satisfy the Applied Math PhD course requirements, I have completed a 45-credit course program. The applied math core consists of four full-year course sequences, which I completed in my first year. In my second, third and fourth years, I completed the required units of Math, Science & Engineering electives.

In addition to my Applied Math course requirements, I have completed a PhD Minor in Systems & Industrial Engineering, which is my field of research. To satisfy the minor requirements, I have completed a 12-credit course program in Systems & Industrial Engineering.

I am currently working on my dissertation, and in the process, satisfying the University of Arizona's required 18 units of disseration research credit.
