| Brief Bio: | ||
| Originally from Northeast Ohio, I left after college to pursue graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After completing my PhD in Mathematics working with Laura Miller, I was an RTG Postdoctoral fellow at Tulane University working with Lisa Fauci and Ricardo Cortez. I returned to Northeast Ohio with a position at the University of Akron (2018-2022), before joining Cleveland State University in 2022.
My research focuses on the interplay of fluids, mechanics, and behavior in organism pumping, flying and swimming. In particular, I am interested in how their interaction influences the production of efficient and robust mechanisms of fluid transport and locomotion. I'm generally interested in mathematical biology, biofluids, computational modeling, and applied mathematics. | ||
