Employment history:
Graduate Research Assistant June 2012 – Aug 2012
School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe AZ
• Apply finite element modeling on the distribution of rabies cases for skunks and bats over a realistic landscape in
northeast Texas. Implemented in Matlab.
• Analytically study and numerically verify the existence of traveling wave solutions to an integral-differential system
for a two-species Lotka-Volterra competition model. Implemented in Matlab, C++.
• Formulate and analyze a stoichiometric producer-grazer model with excess nutrient recycling. The simple model of
toxic effect of excess nutrient has implications for commercialization and environmental science of aquaculture systems.
Implemented in Matlab, Maple.
Graduate Research Assistant June 2011 – Aug 2011
School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe AZ
• Construct and simulate using Matlab, C++ a coupled ordinary and partial differential equation model for rabies spatial
spread in skunks in northeast Texas. This study suggests possibility of rabies spillover between different species and help
make better informed distribution decisions for public health resources.
• Develop and implement an algorithm in Matlab for the simulation of traveling wave solutions of diffusive delay popu-
lation model inspired by a drift paradox problem.
• Develop a deterministic mathematical HIV transmission model and use it to evaluate with Matlab, SAS public-health
impact of oral preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with various metrics and indicators. This will help public-health officials
make informed decisions about short and long-term benefits of using oral PrEP.
• Use Markov Decision Process theory to solve an optimal parking problem. Algorithm implemented in Matlab, C++.
