Welcome to my professional website!

I’m currently a postdoctoral associate at the University of Pittsburgh, where I conduct research in mathematical neuroscience with a focus on Parkinson's Disease modeling. I am actively seeking new opportunities in both academia and industry and would be happy to discuss how I can contribute to your organization. For a more detailed overview of my background, visit the About Me section. If you’re interested in my research dissemination, check out the Presentations and Publications sections. Course descriptions from the classes I have taught can be found at the Teaching page.
