As an applied mathematician with a passion for collaborative interdisciplinary research, I seek to get students in all disciplines excited about mathematics. My areas of interest include the mathematics of medical imaging, applied inverse problems, mathematical modeling, algorithm design, and biomedical image processing. One of my main goals in teaching mathematics, apart from the usual explanations of formulas, proofs, and theorems, is to convey a sense of profound enthusiasm and wonder for the subject. I teach with the expectation that all students, regardless of their major, interests, or abilities, can learn to find both beauty and utility in mathematics.
