About

I'm a fifth-year Ph.D. student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology studying applied mathematics under the supervision of Professor David Shirokoff. I expect to graduate in May 2026.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in developing and applying tools from Markov chain theory, dynamical systems, geometric measure theory, and the calculus of variations to problems in machine learning and in physics. My research focuses on deriving asymptotic results for stochastic gradient descent Markov chains and analyzing regularizations of the classical model for charged fluid droplets.
