Worked with Dr. William Henshaw at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on research for numerical methods for differential equations— specifically, creating and testing algorithms to implement the Finite Element Method on overlapping grids.

Projects included extending grammar for Charting, a cross-product analytics tool on CitiVelocity, using SableCC, as well as implementing a realized volatility function for Charting using Java.

Advised by Prof. Dr. Georg Stadler, my research focused on optimal experimental design for infinite-dimensional Bayesian inverse problems governed by partial differential equations. Application problems of interest included groundwater contaminants and deep-ocean tsunami detection.
