Research Interests

My background in applied mathematics is founded in dynamical systems and control theory, but has expanded broady across applied mathematics and modeling of complex systems. I have worked on such diverse topics as complex networks, epidemiological modeling, power systems, with applications of mathematics to problems of biology, psychology, social sciences and biometrics. Recent work has expanded to include topics from data science and applied machine learning, with special interest in Information Visualization.
