I am a first year Ph.D. student in the Program of Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. I am currently taking classes and working on passing my preliminary exams.

Education:
● 2007 - Present: PhD student in Applied and Computational Mathematics, Princeton University, NJ
● 2003 - 2007: Bachelors of Arts in Mathematics, Computer Science and Economics, Hiram College, OH
● 1999 -2003: "Gheorghe Munteanu Murgoci" High School, Braila, Romania

● Fall 2005: Budapest Semester in Mathematics, Budapest, Hungary
Great experience!! I would recommend it to everyone.

Research

● Summer 2006: Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU link), University of North Carolina, Greensboro, NC
I worked with Dr. Francine Blanchet-Sadri in the area of algorithmic combinatorics on words. My research focused on counting primitive and unbordered partial words. Here is a link to our group's research that summer.

● Summer 2005: Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU link), Department of Mathematics, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
I worked with Professor Robert Strichartz in the area of fractal analysis. This website contains a detailed description of the results.
