Who I am.I am Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques of Université de Montréal, currently working with Dr. Jean-Philippe Lessard. Previously I was an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill University, where I continue to lecture occasionally. I was granted my PhD in Applied Mathematics in October 2019. During my doctoral years, I was supervised by Dr. Xinzhi Liu and Dr. Jun Liu at the University of Waterloo, where I wrote my thesis Invariant manifold theory for impulsive functional differential equations with applications.
My research interests include discontinuous dynamical systems, bifurcation theory, rigorous numerics and computer-assisted proofs, and modelling and control of infectious diseases,. If you want to know more, please consult my up-to-date curriculum curriculum vitae and research. |
News and press.
June 2022: I taught MATH 262 this summer and decided I should typeset my lecture notes. They have an open license, so by all means feel free to re-use them as needed. LaTeX source code is available on request.
November 2021: I am in the process of migrating some of my ongoing computational projects to the Julia programming language. A big thank you to Olivier Henot for answering so many of my questions! Those interested in computer-assisted proofs should definitely check out his package, RadiiPolynomial.jl.
July, 2021: As of September, I will be a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques at Université de Montréal, thanks to the support of the Simons Foundation.
December 3-8, 2020: I am organizing a session on Discontinuous Dynamical Systems at the 2020 CMS Winter Meeting, to be held online. It should be an interesting collection of talks!
May 4, 2020: With COVID-19 on everybody's mind, Waterloo reshared their interview with me from June 2019. A nice coincidence, as I have a few CEGEP students finishing up a math project about vaccines right now!
November 7, 2019: I was on "The Morning Edition" with Craig Norris on CBC Radio One Kitchener-Waterloo, talking about how some of my recent work on seasonal vaccination reinforces common-sense flu vaccine policy but also emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated early.
June 20, 2019: The University of Waterloo put out a press release about one of my recent publications on pulse vaccination and its interaction with finite immunity. This was then picked up by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.
March 5, 2018: I participated in the University of Waterloo Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition in 2018, representing the Faculty of Mathematics at the finals after winning the Math faculty heat. Read the release from the Department of Applied Mathematics and watch a video of me compete in the university finals.
