A website is as close as one comes to immortality, or so said the ancients. Reaching for this elusive taste of the eternal, or perhaps running from invisibility, I have decided to create my own. I am a second year PhD student in aerospace engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. I am supported by an NDSEG fellowship. I worked at Boeing for three years before returning to school. I am fascinated by the power of partial differential equations to model things in the world. I like knowing how these equations are solved with computers, and writing code to do this. But I also think that too much time spent fussing with computers disconnects us from thinking deeply about more fundamental problems. I don’t really know, of course. The question "how can and should data be used in science?” seems to be an important one these days, so I try to think about that as well. Lastly, and don’t tell the DoD this, I am interested in philosophy to the extent that it weighs in usefully on questions of where knowledge comes from and what living a good life is all about.
