About Me

I am a PhD candidate working with Dr. Bruce Conway in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. My research is in the field of optimal control theory. Other focuses of research include dynamical systems, stochastic differential equations, and nonlinear dynamics in aerospace applications. Currently, I am interested in studying methods of dimensional reduction for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equations.
A fan of contemporary classical and classical crossover music, in my free time, I compose music for the piano. Other activities I enjoy include hiking, camping, and astrophotography.
