About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in Stanford's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (iCME). I work on algorithms for uncertainty propagation in stochastic systems, particularly random matrix equations. My adviser, Gianluca Iaccarino, is an assistant professor in the mechanical engineering department whose interests include turbulence simulation and uncertainty quantification.
Outside of real work, I have a band that composes original instrumental jazz/funk and regularly gigs around campus.
Research
My research interests include parameterized matrix equations, uncertainty quantification, spectral methods, and numerical linear algebra.
