About
I obtained my Ph.D. in the Computational and Applied Mathematics department (CAAM) at Rice University under advise by Prof. Beatrice Riviere. My research interests lie in the interdisciplinary area of computational physics and applied mathematics. Particularly, I work on developing numerical methods for linear and nonlinear PDEs. I'm currently working on a sequential discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the immiscible two-phase fluid flows in deformable porous media problems in three dimensions.
