Research Interests
The goal of my research is the development, analysis, and deployment of computational and mathematical methods that integrate data with simulation and optimization with the aspiration to support decision making in challenging problems in the applied sciences. More info can be found here.Open Positions and Academic Advising
I have research projects for graduate and undergraduate students to work on challenging problems in computational and applied mathematics. Undergraduate students must be currently enrolled at the University of Houston. Graduate students need to apply to the graduate program of the Department of Mathematics (http://www.uh.edu/nsm/math/graduate). Contact me for more details. Information about current research directions of my group can be found here.Outreach
I am a faculty adviser for the Texas Theta Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon (PME). Information about joining PME can be found here.Recent News
