Biography

I am the data manager for the Math Active Learning Lab in O'Kelly 33.

My specialty is probability, especially random walks in random environments and evolving shapes. I received my degree from UCLA, under the advising of Marek Biskup.  I am currently investigating stochastic processes and also dabbling in machine learning.
