I am a software engineer at Argonne National Lab in the Computer Modeling and Analytics group. Together we build, service, and maintain high-fidelity transportation and logistics models. I also collaborate with the Fuels and Materials Analysis group developing next generation life cycle analysis (LCA) software.
In addition to my responsibilities as a researcher, I serve as the R2A2 AI Representative for the SSS division. In this role, I promote AI literacy, advocate for the responsible use of AI, and act as the primary point of contact for a diverse group of over 100 multi-disciplinary researchers on AI-related initiatives at Argonne National Laboratory.
My research interests more broadly lie in the mathematical analysis, modeling, and simulation of multimodal transportation systems. I'm particularly interested in developing secure software that is useful, useable, and used.

I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of South Carolina. My advisor was Dr. Changhui Tan. During my time at USC I was supported by the DASIV center and RTG grant. I co-founded and organized the ACM Student Seminar. My dissertation concerned the well-posedness of hyperbolic conservation laws arising from traffic flow.

I completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Purdue University. I also earned a minor in philosophy. I was involved in several organizations, including residence life, where I worked as an RA and later in a supervisory role for a team of RA's. I was also involved in the Social Cognition of Social Justice psychology lab headed by Dr. Erin Hennes. I contributed to a publication regarding misinformation and system-justification.
