Research Area

Dynamical systems

Research Statement: I study applied and theoretical problems across dynamical systems, with a special emphasis on the geometric invariants of multiple timescale (slow-fast) systems and coupled oscillator systems. I've studied mixed-mode oscillations in chemical systems and invariant manifolds in high-dimensional models of oscillator glass
