Current Research
Currently I am working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the Applied Mathematics and Computational Research devision in the Applied Mathematics department.
My research revolves around developing a high performance simulation of cancer cell migration. Last summer the CCM team worked to get the model to reach a state of equilibrium. This summer I have been working to maintain this equilibrium state while changing different parameters and finding the optimal number of cells and vertices required to reach our desired state. Since finishing the equilibrium stages of our project, I have worked to find methods to move the interior cells out of our tumor. I am still in the early stages of my findings but the goal is to find how sensitive our model is to parameter changes and to develop a method to move the cells out, with out picking a cell and dragging it.
