I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at The Ohio State University. My research primarily focuses on modeling in healthcare and epidemiology. My work uses a range of mathematical and statistical techniques from differential equations, dynamical systems, graph theory, linear algebra, stochastic processes and numerical optimization.
