PRIMES (PRogram for Interdisciplinary Mathematics, Ecology, and Statistics) is designed to address the challenges of studying complex ecological systems. Modern studies of ecological systems incorporate an extremely wide range of scientific and quantitative techniques, from the collection of data in the field, to the modeling of complex systems, to the application of advanced computational techniques. Consequently, quantitative ecology has become an inherently multi-disciplinary activity. Read More

Current Research

I am working in the area of a posteriori analysis of operator splitting and model sensitivity in evolutionary problems. My first project is concerned with the data assimilation, or the inverse problem in model sensitivity, for ordinary differential equations using adjoint-based techniques. I will also be looking into analyzing operator splitting methods for atomistic to continuum coupling models.

My research is supported in part by an N.S.F. Mathematical and Statistical Tools for Understanding Complex Systems in the Environment grant, a PRIMES (NSG IGERT) Fellowship, and a grant from the D.O.E.
