Basic information

Assistant Professor
SIAM-MGB Early Career Fellow
Department of Mathematics
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Primary research interests are the application, theory, and discretization of partial differential equations and high performance computing; discontinuous Galerkin methods, spectral/geometric/algebraic multigrid solvers, and accelerators (GPU, KNL, etc.).

Since 2007, I have been very involved with the recruitment, retention, and outreach for women, underrepresented minorities, and socioeconomically underprivileged in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in higher education.

Teaching and Outreach Experience

I have substantial teaching experience, as well as extensive expertise in producing actionable and attainable interventions for creating a more inclusive culture in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. My outreach work in STEM has been recognized by SIAM.

Since 2007, most of the positions I have held (paid and unpaid) focused on retention, recruitment, and building learning skills for women, underrepresented minorities, and socioeconomically underprivileged students in STEM higher education. More details on these programs can be found in their respective webpages.
