Summary of Research

Broadly, I am interested in designing scalable algorithms for high-dimensional problems in scientific computing. In particular, I am interested in diffusion processes with applications to sampling and simulating open quantum systems. I plan to apply tools from stochastic processes and PDEs to these problems.
