About me
- B.S. in Mathematics, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, August 2016.
- B.S. in Chemical Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, August 2016.
- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Houston, May 2021 (expected).
I am a fifth year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Houston.
For the last few years, I have worked on understanding the interplay between correlated activity and synaptic plasticity
in neural networks under the advice of Dr. Krešimir Josić.
I am also interested in applying and developing neuro-inspired approaches, such as those in Deep Learning and
Reinforcement Learning, to tackle interesting problems in computer vision, behavior, and learning.
During my time at UH, I have served our
UH AMS Graduate Chapter in
several positions (Secretary, Treasurer, and President). Our chapter sponsors
and organizes a number of social and professional activities where graduate
students can learn and develop crucial skills for a successful career in
math. Check out our website for more details!
