Research
Experience
·
Fractals
research culminating in paper. Under the
supervision of Dr. Denis Blackmore, explored fractal dimension and Weierstrass-Mandelbrot functions of one and two
variables (Fall 2011-2013)
·
Gave presentation titled “Euler-Lagrange
Equations: Shapes of Charged Droplets,” under the supervision of Dr. Cyrill Muratov. Developed an iterative shooting method to
search for possible 2D curves which minimize an appropriate energy
function (Spring 2012)
·
Granular
materials project, working in a group supervised by Dr. Lou Kondic. Developed code for processing experimental
images and analyzed fractal dimension of resulting force chains (Spring 2012)

Computer
Skills
·
I am
acquainted with C++. I am highly
proficient in MATLAB, with which I have written simple stochastic simulations,
solvers for both ordinary and partial differential equations, and functions for
processing and analyzing batches of experimental granular materials
images. I have also used Maple for
symbolic applications including computer proofs.
Research
Interests
·
I am
interested in applied and computational math, including modeling dynamical
systems and natural phenomena. Experimental math—using
symbolic programs such as Maple to assist proofs—also interests me. Finally, I might like to investigate problems
of morphogenesis and pattern emergence.
