I am presently a Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, part of New York University. Until the summer of 2010 I was a Luis Alvarez Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, working in the group of John Bell at the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering. I was a Lawrence Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Labs from 2006-2009, where I was part of the Computational Materials Science group. From 2001-2006 I was a Ph.D. student at Princeton University in the Program in Computational and Applied Mathematics, and conducted research at the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials in collaboration with Dr. Salvatore Torquato as part of the Complex Materials Theory Group. I obtained my B.S. in physics at Michigan State University, where I was part of the research group of Dr. Phillip Duxbury.
