I am a fifth-year PhD student at UCLA. I am grateful to be advised by Monica Vişan and Rowan Killip.
My research interests broadly lie in dispersive partial differential equations, completely integrable systems, and harmonic analysis. I am currently investigating the dispersion-managed NLS.

How to Find my Office
Take the west-most elevator to the third floor, then it will be down the hall, across from the student math center.
This year, I am grateful to be supported by the Dissertation Year Award at UCLA.
Regardless, you are always welcome to email me with questions, comments or concerns. I'd love to hear from you, especially if you are a former student of mine. If we can't figure it out over email, we can find a time to meet in person.
"The motivation for a physicist to study 1-dimensional problems is best illustrated by the story of the man who, returning home late at night after an alcoholic evening, was scanning the ground for his key under a lamppost; he knew, to be sure, that he had dropped it somewhere else, but only under the lamppost was there enough light to conduct a proper search."
-Calogero, 1971 (humorously)
