Research

My research is in partial differential equations and mathematical finance; in particular

in studying free boundary problems arising from optimal stopping problems and early

exercise problems.  I am also interested in term structure models.

 

 

Information

I am a graduate student and teaching fellow in the Department of Mathematics.

 

This fall semester I am a TA for a section of Math 0220 – Calculus I. 

More information is available in the section below for students.

 

Presentations and Other Materials

MATLAB code and results from simulations coming soon.
