about me

I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematical Sciences with affiliation in Mechanical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). I am the PI of the FMNST Lab — Fluid Mechanics and Small-scale Transport Lab at WPI. My research interests are small scale fluid dynamics and particle transport. I am also interested in intersectional feminism, STEM education, and science, technology & society.

Between August 2018 and August 2020, I was a Dean's Post-Doctoral Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at Florida State University. My advisors were M. Nicholas J. Moore and Nicholas G. Cogan.

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2018.  My advisors were Roberto Camassa and Richard M. McLaughlin.  My dissertation focused on the dispersion of passive tracers in laminar flow in capillary tubes of various geometries. While at UNC, I also received a Graduate Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies with advisor Anne Johnston.

I am the co-founder of Girls Talk Math: Engaging Girls through Math Media — a free day camp for girls and non-binary high school students interested in Mathematics and media hosted at UNC Chapel Hill at the University of Maryland at College Park and in 2022 at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

I am part of the Leadership at 500 Women Scientists — a non-profit grassroots organization with a mission to serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible by fighting racism, patriarchy, and oppressive societal norms.
