I am a postdoc in Daphne Klotsa's group in the Applied Physical Sciences department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I completed my Ph.D. in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at UNC. 

 

My graduate research focused on using computational models to understand the fluid dynamics and aerodynamics of flight. But, I’m very interested in how modeling can be used to model a wide variety of biological systems. In the broader science world, I’m particularly passionate about understanding how people think, learn and maintain motivation, and how this applies to science education.
