Biography

I am an applied mathematician with research interests in numerical solutions to partial differential equations, mathematical modeling of biological and industrial process and statistical learning.

Research Interests

In numerical methods I focus on developing efficient (high order, time-adaptive and parallelizable) exponential time differencing schemes (ETD) coupled with various spatial discretization schemes (Finite Elements, Spectral Methods, Mesh Free Methods) for solving advection-diffusion reaction equations (ADRE). I am currently developing an ADRE solver in python to make it easier for scientists without a background in numerical methods to solve multidimensional ADRE equations. In mathematical modeling, I am interested in developing simple models that can explain the mechanics and biochemical signaling used by cells to move in confined environments.  These models will be useful in understanding the motility mechanism that cancer cells use to metastasize so that effective drugs can be designed to stop the progression of cancer. In statistical learning, I am currently applying probabilistic classifiers such as logistic regression, relevance vector machines and copulas to develop mathematical models that can accurately predict the risk for aggressive prostate cancer.  I am also applying clustering algorithms to detect differences in the sensory spot patterns of fruit flies.
