My background is highly interdiscplinary, which has served me well in the projects I work on. I have a B.Sc. in Biology from McGill University, an M.S. in Physiological Sciences (with a focus on Bioinformatics) from UCLA, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Mathematics from UC Irvine, where I completed my thesis on modeling tumor growth in microenvironment with Professor John Lowengrub.
I have a long-standing interest in exploring new ways to use mathematics to explain and model our world. My current focus has been in developing and applying linear and multi-linear dimension reduction techniques to identify low-dimensional patterns in data.
I'm also passionate about improving the culture for under-represented groups in mathematics education and professional pursuits. I'm a member of the Society for Mathematical Biology DEI Committee, where we work to recruit and support underserved groups in mathematical biology.
I was honored to have my story recently featured by the Her Maths Story project.
