Before coming to UW, I was a postdoctoral fellow in mathematical neuroscience in the group of Prof. John Rinzel, at NYU's Courant Institute and Center for Neural Science. In 2004, I completed my Ph.D in Princeton's Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics, advised by Prof. Phil Holmes and co-advised by Prof. Jonathan Cohen. At Princeton I also closely with Prof. Hersch Rabitz, and other wonderful faculty. My graduate work was supported by the National Science Foundation, the Burroughs-Wellcome Fund, and Princeton's Graduate School. Before I moved to Princeton, I worked at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and studied Engineering Physics at UC-Berkeley.
Outside of research and teaching, I delight in the mountains of the west (sometimes very carefully climbing with family and friends) and in watching my son grow in this incredible and vibrant community.
