About me

I’m an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX.

Previously, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA.

My research interests lie at the interface of probability and analysis, especially stochastic PDEs. I recently completed my PhD in Mathematics at Iowa State University (ISU) under the guidance of Professor David P. Herzog with dissertation title:

Quasi-invariance for families of infinite-dimensional SDEs with degenerate noise.
