ABOUT
I am a first-year PhD student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill) in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. I completed my BS in mathematics and statistics at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in 2018, where I did work on the mechanisms of cell polarization using stochastic modeling, under Dr. Hye-Won Kang. I also studied the dynamics of arrhythmogenesis using delay differential equations at Rochester Institute of Technology under Dr. Elizabeth Cherry. I enjoy taking seemingly unrelated biological systems, such as cardiac myocytes, and turning them into math problems to unravel their behavior and draw new insights that might not otherwise be possible.
