I earned my Ph.D. here at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in Spring 2010, and my dissertation focused on optimization. More specifically, I studied solving global optimization problems with singular solution sets and developing algorithms to detect and describe the solution sets. After teaching elsewhere for two years, I returned to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette as an instructor in Fall 2012. I enjoy teaching a variety of mathematics and statistics courses at all undergraduate levels. My research interests include optimization, numerical analysis, computational mathematics, and statistics.
