About me

I am currently a Research Fellow in the Computational Hydraulics Group at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering & Sciences of the University of Texas at Austin, where I am working with Clint Dawson. Previously, I was a ORISE postdoctoral fellow at the Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, where I worked with Matthew Farthing. Prior to that, I earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Texas A&M University, supervised by Prabir Daripa.

My research interests lie at the intersection of classical, physics-based computational methods and modern data-driven, machine learning-based techniques with applications to computational science and engineering. I am particularly interested in exploring ways to develop efficient and robust numerical approximations of real-world, large scale environmental flow problems by combining physical principles with modern machine learning algorithms, either by infusing physics-based regularization in the learning trajectory or by modeling the underlying differential operator.
