About me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Old Dominion University (ODU) and am affiliated with the School of Data Science. Before joining ODU, I was a postdoctoral researcher and guest scientist in the Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics (T-5) Group at LANL from 2022 to 2024. Prior to that, I worked as a Senior ML Engineer and core team member at SGR Semiconductor Inc., an AI startup where I led a team developing AI-enabled mmWave sensors for detecting human movement in smart devices (2021-2022). I also held postdoctoral positions at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, NYU (2020-2021), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2017-2019). I received Ph.D. in Mathematics from Virginia Tech in 2017.I am a computational scientist and applied mathematician by training. I have been honored and grateful to work with talented mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists. My primary areas of interest are reduced order modeling and scientific machine learning for complex systems. Additionally, I am interested in exploring the mathematical foundations of AI and enhancing the interpretability of AI models.
