I am currently at the Center for Systems Biology Dresden, where I am a postdoctoral researcher part of the Harrington Group. Previously, I was a postdoc at Sorbonne Université, jointly in the Polsys team and at the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions. I completed my PhD in Mathematics under the supervision of Dr. Cynthia Vinzant in May 2021.

New release: Globtim.jl - a Julia package for computing all local minimizers of Morse functions on compact domains.

My primary work involves studying mathematical structures that emerge from the study of dynamic and biological systems. A central motivation in my research is to combine symbolic and numerical methods in a best of both worlds approach, in order to enhance methods in optimization and statistical analysis which can be leveraged in various interdisciplinary settings.

Level sets of the Trefethen 3d function: \begin{align} f(x, y, z) = e^{\sin(50x_1)} + \sin(60e^{x_2})\sin(60x_3) + \sin(70\sin(x_1))\cos(10x_3) \\ + \sin(\sin(80x_2)) - \sin(10(x_1 + x_3)) + \frac{x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2}{4} \end{align}

The locations of the critical points have been computed using the Globtim package.
