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.
