About me

I am a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

I received my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics in 2025 from the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at University of Illinois at Chicago.

My research interests lie at the intersection of probability, analysis, and mathematical physics, with a focus on random polynomials, random matrices, partial differential equations (PDEs), stochastic PDEs, fluid dynamics, harmonic analysis, high-dimensional probability and statistics, nonlinear Schrödinger equations, Whitney-type extension problems, and numerical analysis and scientific computing. I am particularly drawn to problems that connect probability, PDEs, harmonic analysis, spectral theory, and applications across the mathematical sciences.
