Academics 2004—Present - Doctoral Candidate in Applied Mathematics at the University of Maryland 2008 M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation from the University of Maryland, College Park 2004 B.S. in Creative Studies with an Emphasis in Mathematics from the University of California, Santa Barbara 2005 Participant in the NSF Funded Pennsylvania State University Mathematics Advanced Study Semester 2006 Participant in the NSF Funded Indiana University Research Experience for Undergraduates Current Research The Mobile Facility Routing Problem. This problem arises from the routing of a mobile facility where the benefit of the route is based on the time a facility spends servicing locations. Applications of this problem include routing Cell-Sites-on-Light-Trucks, Police Cars, Mobile Post offices and Mobile food stands. This problem contains an interesting mix of routing, scheduling, and facility location. Research with Dr. Raghavan. Investigation of the Dynamical Stability of TCP models (close to submission for publication). am examining the dynamical stability of a TCP model that is applicable to large, multi-router networks.
