I'm a 6th year PhD student in applied math at Columbia university working on PDEs on large-graph limits,
interacting particle systems, and nonlocal analysis. In particular, I'm working with graphon limits of
graph optimization problems and graph dynamics such as graph reaction-diffusion equations.
I'm interested in some applied graph theory problems, including opinion dynamics, disease dynamics, and image segmentation.
My work with variational inference relates to proving theoretical guarantees for mean-field variational inference,
studying Wasserstein gradient flows, Fokker-Planck equations and their convergence properties.
In Spring 2025, I will be privileged to teach a 4-credit Calculus II course at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art.
I plan to graduate in May 2025. I am now applying to postdoctoral positions.
