About

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria. My advisor is Prof. David Goluskin.

My research falls under the broad area of mathematical fluid dynamics, partial differential equations (PDEs) and variational methods.

I was a GFD Fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for the summer of 2025.

Here is my CV.
