I am a fifth year PhD student at the University of Delaware in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. My current research is in graph signal processing, which is at the intersection of harmonic analysis, graph theory, and linear algebra. I am also working on applications of signal processing in graph limit theory. My PhD advisor is Dr. Mahya Ghandehari. I am currently on the job market for the 2025-2026 academic year.
I am from just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I received my B.S. in mathematics with a minor in computer science from Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, I am the treasurer of UD’s Association for Women in Math chapter. I also help run UD’s Math Circle where we (math graduate students) visit local grade schools and work on math enrichment activities with students. I was previously a co-organizer of the Hallenbeck Graduate Student Seminar (2022-2024), and have served in various roles including president and vice president of UD’s Association for Women in Math chapter (2022-ongoing).
