Research Interests

I am interested in applied and computational mathematics including numerical analysis and PDEs with an emphasis on finite volume methods for hyperbolic conservation laws. My current research involves the application of methods developed by my advisor, Randall J. LeVeque, Marica Pelanti, and David George in trying to simulate debris flow. I also work in collaboration with scientists from the USGS Cascade Volcano Observatory studying the dynamics of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18th, 1980 and other geophysicaly relevant debris flow dynamics.

Biographical information

I grew up around Madison, Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for my undergraduate degree in applied mathematics, engineering, and physics (AMEP). While there I was involved in research with the AMANDA/Icecube project, atomic force microscopy, and biological nano-fluid dynamics modeling. I also have an avid interest in backpacking, scuba diving, ultimate frisbee, and soccer. I currently am pursuing my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington researching computational fluid dynamics in geophysics.
