Biography

Originally from the Denver area, I have obtained all levels of my education on the Auraria Campus: B.S., MSCD; M.S. and Ph.D., UCD. I spent two years as a postdoc in a computational science laboratory in Petropolis, Brazil (LNCC).

Research Interests

    My current research is focused on numerical methods for solving Partial Differential Equations. I am also interested in linear solvers and preconditioners and I hope to contribute research in these areas in the future.

Teaching Interests

    I enjoy all areas of mathematics. I enjoy teaching intro level classes such as College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus, as well as upper division courses such as Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis
