Mathematical Sciences Building, Office 609
Purdue University, West Lafayette

I'm a graduate Mathematics student at Purdue University. During the summer of 2025, I was a research intern in the Computing & Information Science Research Foundation at Sandia National Laboratories (Livermore, California), as part of the Universities Research Association-Sandia Graduate Student Summer Fellowship , where I worked on data-driven machine learning surrogate models (data-driven closure models) and data assimilation. I am a former research intern at the 2023 MIT Lincoln Laboratory Summer Research Program, where I worked on unsupervised machine learning under Group 39 of Division 3, as part of the National GEM Consortium Fellowship Employer Sponsor Internship.

In the summer of 2022, I was a participant at the Summer@ICERM2022: Computational Combinatorics REU Program at Brown University, where I researched parking functions and algebraic combinatorics under Prof. Pamela Harris from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In the summer of 2021, I participated in the East Tennessee State University & University of Puerto Rico at Ponce REU Program in Algebraic Coding Theory, Probability and Combinatorics, where I researched algebraic-geometric error-correcting codes and linear error-correcting codes under Prof. Fernando Piñero from the University of Puerto Rico at Ponce.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (UPRM) , where I also worked as a research assistant in abstract algebra and number theory under Prof. Reyes M. Ortiz Albino. Some of my hobbies include origami, watching pop-culture related movies and shows, enjoying nature, and playing percussion instruments.
