Educational Background
M.S., Mathematics, Georgia Southern University - Statesboro, 2019
B.S., Mathematical Sciences, Georgia Southern University - Armstrong, 2017
Profile/About Me
I am a PhD candidate working under Drs. Cheng Guo and Margaret M. Wiecek in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Clemson University. I expect to graduate in December 2025.
Research Interests
My research interests are in parametric optimization, stochastic programming, multiobjective optimization, and decomposition techniques. My dissertation has focused on developing decomposition based solution methods for multiobjective linear optimization and parametric lienar optimization problems in the settings of stochastic and nonstochastic data. Additionally, I am interested in applying optimal control, optimal transport, and other functional analysis areas to parametric optimization, multiobjective optimization, and stochastic programming problems.
