Summary of Research

As a first-year Ph.D. student in mathematics at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, my specific research is currently undecided. However, I plan to explore research in numerical analysis and scientific computing applied to physics. I am specifically interested in developing faster and more efficient numerical methods.
