I am a research postdoc in Mathematics at Dartmouth College working with Dimitris Giannakis.

My current work focuses on topics related to dynamical closure, data assimilation and pattern extraction for spatiotemporal dynamics, employing data driven kernel methods and the operator theoretic, statistical description of dynamical systems.

I am co-organizing the Applied & Computational Math Seminar. Please get in touch if you'd like to give a talk.

I am currently looking for tenure track positions starting in the summer or fall 2027.

I am co-organizing a minisymposium on kernel methods at SIAM MDS26.
New preprint on an accelerated decomposition method for bistochastic kernel matrices.
New paper on dynamical closure published in the Journal of Computational Physics.
New paper on hyper-reduction methods published in Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering.
New preprint on hyper-reduction methods for finite element simulations.
Spring 2026: I am teaching Math 27 Dynamical systems with applications.
I am giving a seminar talk at Tufts Mathematics.
I am giving a talk at SIAM UQ26.
I am giving a talk at APS DPP 2025.
I am giving a seminar talk at Caltech CMS.
I am giving a talk at SIAM DS25.
