EDUCATION
M.S. Mathematics 2013-2015
University of Washington
My coursework included Numerical Optimization, Network Optimization, and various Proba- bility and Analysis courses. My focus on was optimization, my nal exam topic was Matroid Theory (a generalization of graph theory and linear algebra) with an emphasis on matroids arising in graphs.
B.S. Mathematics and B.A. Physics 2009-2013
University of California, Santa Barbara
Both degrees were completed through the College of Creative Studies (CCS). Known as "a graduate school for undergraduates", CCS enabled me to take a plethora or upper division and graduate level classes, starting my sophomore year (taking 27 or more units most quarters, over twice a full-time load), allowed me to pursue original research, and helped me nd an internship every summer. At UCSB I was able to develop a large breadth of skills, ranging from work in physics labs, to coding in multiple langauges, to publishing a paper on my Linear Algebra research.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Matroid Theory Research 2011-2013
Mathematics Research under Maribel Bueno
As an undergraduate, I did original research on Matrix Polynomials, speci cally Fiedler pencils with repetition, alongside professors Maribel Bueno (UCSB) and S. Furtado (Universi- dade do Porto). This research resulted in a publication in Linear Algebra and its Applications. The paper can be found here:

Internship at the Tyndall Institute of Technology under Eoin O’Reilly The focus of the internship was on modeling potential energy distributions in GaN transistors, and using the models to predict the e ectiveness of such transistors. Through the internship I learned how to work with pre-written code and the value of comments in code, through modifying and debugging several thousand lines of uncommented code in C++. I also wrote original code in MATLAB to provide visual representations of the data produced. Astrophysics Internship 2011
Summer Internship under Benjamin Monreal
During the internship I wrote code in C++, using CERN’s ROOT framework, that modeled Cherenkov radiation in a theoretical particle detector. The goal was to determine if such a detector could be used to measure neutrino mass, if it were built. My work included writing long pieces of code in C/C++ from scratch.
Electrical Engineering Internship 2010
Summer internship under Umesh Misra at UCSB
I took measurements on various GaN transistors, input data into MicroCal Origin, and analyzed the data to nd trends in electron mobility as a function of various transistor qualities such as transistor thickness and shape.
