About Me
Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at Colby College. I am an applied mathematician and I enjoy using mathematics to explore and learn about diverse topics in biology and the natural sciences. In much of my research, I develop and use computational methods to study the formation and stability of spatiotemporal patterns. Please see my research and publication pages for more information!
Previously, I was a Krener Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of California Davis. I received my PhD in Applied Mathematics from Brown University, where I worked with Björn Sandstede.
