Biography
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Arizona. Before becoming a Wildcat, I was a Visiting Adjunct Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. I also held a postdoctoral position in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University and worked as a Research Associate in the group of Prof. Pierre Degond in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. I received my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Christian Schmeiser at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna.Degrees

Interests
Teaching
As an applied mathematician, I find fulfillment in instructing a variety of subjects within this realm. For instance, at the undergraduate level, I have experience teaching courses such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Dynamical Systems, and Numerical Analysis. Moving forward, I aspire to extend my teaching portfolio at the graduate level to include subjects like Mathematical Analysis and Partial Differential Equations. In the past, I have taught a graduate-level course on Compressible Fluid Dynamics.
Research
Networks and patterns in emergent systems, multiscale analysis, shallow water asymptotic, nonlinear nonlocal partial differential equations, fluid dynamics, computational mathematics, and mathematical biology.
