Graduate Student, Department of Mathematics
Mathematical Sciences Building, Office 609
Purdue University, West Lafayette
I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at
Purdue University.
My research interests lie in dynamical systems (e.g. mathematical physics, modeling in material science), machine learning (e.g. physics-informed neural networks), and
computational & applied mathematics (e.g. numerical methods, data assimilation), advised by
Prof. Aaron Yip
.
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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me
