About Me

I am a Mathematics Ph.D. student at Purdue University. During the summer of 2025, I will be a research intern in the Computing & Information Science Research Foundation at Sandia National Laboratories-California as part of the Universities Research Association-Sandia Graduate Student Summer Fellowship. I am a former Research Intern at the 2023 MIT Lincoln Laboratory Summer Research Program, where I researched machine learning under Group 39 of Division 3, as part of the National GEM Consortium Fellowship Employer 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. In the summer of 2021, I participated in the East Tennessee State Universtiy & 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. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (UPRM). Some of my hobbies include origami, watching pop-culture related movies and shows, enjoying nature, and playing percussion instruments. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me through email.



Research Interests

My research interests currently lie in Dynamical Systems, Machine Learning, and Computational & Applied Math. During my bachelor's degree however, I did venture into more theoretical research areas, such as Number Theory, Abstract Algebra and Combinatorics.
