Personal Overview

I joined the Department of Mathematics and Systems Engineering at Florida Tech in 2015 as an Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics. My Ph.D. degree in Computational Engineering and Science was obtained under the supervision of Prof. Bartosz Protas, Dept. of Mathematics & Statistics at McMaster University, in 2012. After my graduation, I spent three years as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University working under the mentorship of co-directors of the Smart Fields Consortium Prof. Khalid Aziz and Prof. Louis J. Durlofsky.

My current scientific interests lie in, but are not limited to, the areas of applied mathematics focusing on combining theoretical and computational methods for problems in fluid dynamics, optimization, and control theory. I have a strong background in applied mathematics involving PDEs, inverse problems, and scientific computing as well as wide-ranging experience in working on interdisciplinary projects including industrial components.

I have openings for well-qualified students pursuing graduate, either master’s or doctoral, degrees in applied mathematics and operations research. I look for candidates with a strong background in applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, optimization as well as scientific computing. Please email me directly if you meet these criteria and would like to join my research group.
