Research:
I work with Marcus Roper to study small scale fluid flow applied to biological systems. More specifically, I use a combination of asymptotic and numerical methods to study fluid flow problems in microfluidic devices and blood flow.

Research:
I study sexual networks and STD transmission with Mason A. Porter (Professor, Department of Mathematics). The crux of this project involves developing detailed sexual networks which are heterogeneous with respect to both demographics and sexual behavior. I am interested in infectious disease dynamics and utilizing mathematics to improve the public's health, especially regarding biomedical research and policymaking.
