About me

     I am a second year applied mathemtics PhD student (just passed the qualifying exam) and I am getting a PhD minor in optics. I became interested in optics after spending the summer of 2006 working on the National Ignition Facility (laser driven nuculear fussion project) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.





Research Interests

Currently I am working with Dr. Jerry Moloney, head of the ACMS - Arizona Center for the Mathematical Sciences. I am looking into electromagnetic pulse propigation through nonlinear dielectric media.



Current Courses

Math 557 - Dynamical Systems
Math 576a - Numerical PDEs
Optics 512r - Linear Fourier Optics


Generally I am interested in:
  • Optics
  • PDE's - nonlinear wave solutions
  • Numerical Analysis
  • Dynamical Systems
  • Analysis
  • Computer Programming
