My research interests are numerical analysis, scientific computing, and recently I have been getting into Koopman operator analysis with applications to discrete stochastic systems.
Research. My primary work develops methods for the Chemical Master Equation (CME), the governing equation for stochastic biochemical reaction networks. I focus on dynamically controlling the finite state projection (FSP) truncation so probability mass stays well-resolved as the system evolves. A parallel thread applies Koopman operator theory to recover reaction rate constants directly from trajectory data via Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (EDMD), bypassing the need to form the full CME generator.
See the projects page for details on both research directions and a gallery of simulation work.
