Current

Ph.D. Candidate in Mathematical Sciences (Applied Mathematics)

M.S. Student in Data Analytics

University of Nevada, Las Vegas

My research centers on mathematical epidemiology, with a current focus on movement, spatial heterogeneity, and endemic-equilibrium structure in SIS epidemic network models. Scientific machine learning and explainable health-data analysis extend that mathematical foundation.

Advanced to doctoral candidacy on June 25, 2026.
