Welcome to my homepage!  I am a fifth year doctoral student in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University.  My undergraduate work was done in the Mathematics Department at Rutgers University.   My primary research interest is mathematical biology, with an emphasis on cancer biology. 


I am currently working on my PhD thesis in the Complex Materials Theory Group under the supervision of Professor Salvatore Torquato.  My project involves modeling heterogeneous tumor growth and treatment.
