"I'm a 5th year in the PhD program in the math department here at UCR. I am currently working in applied mathematics, specifically in the area of optimal transport with applications to PDEs. Beyond the many hours I spend trying to do math, I also enjoy reading too many things, listening to music, or watching vtubers. I am hoping, once time finds itself available, to pick up writing and learning an instrument."
