About

I am a seventh year Ph.D candidate from the UNL Mathematics department advised by Professor George Avalos and Professor Mohammad Rammaha. My research area is applied analysis and partial differential equations, with an emphasis on semigroups and finite element analysis for PDEs modeling fluid structure interaction.

I am a first generation college student and passionate about teaching and research.
