Research Overview  

As long as I can remember I have been interested in science. I enjoy unraveling the mysteries behind how things work and/or why something occurs. Much of the underlying principles can be explained through mathematics. As an applied mathematician I enjoy process of taking a scientific question or phenomena and understanding through it's fundamental principles. I have worked in many different areas of science, many of which on the surface it appears funny that a mathematician would be involved! I have worked on real-time strategies for online retail to studying the properties of fluids. Below you will find my research statement which includes some of the problems I am currently studying.
