Welcome to my personal website! As a mathematician at Northrop Grumman, I work on algorithms for Space Sytems sector with an emphasis on numerical optimization, inverse problems, and state estimation. I receive my PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado - Boulder working with Stephen Becker. I have a broad background in mathematics, machine learning, signal processing, and physical simulations. Although this website is a work in progress, you can find information about my research including a few projects I’ve worked on over the years.
