Area of Research

Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Biology

I am currently studying bone remodeling (the process in which bone remodels itself in order to maintain a healthy state).  Mathematical models of the process can help find treatments for bone diseases. 

Interests/Hobbies

I enjoy spending time with family and friends.  Some of my hobbies include reading, studying, and spending time outdoors.
