Research Assistant - Pennsylvania State University


Presentation

Welcome to my webpage. I am interested in the theoretical and numerical analysis of mean-field models arising in Biology and Physics.

I am a S. Chowla Research Assistant at the Department of Mathematics of the Pennsylvania State University.

My Ph.D. was defended in June 2023 and supervised by Francis Filbet at the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse.

This webpage gathers information and documents about my research, my teaching activities and my education.
