I am a CS student with a focus on applied mathematics, interested in problems that map local interactions to complex global behavior at the intersection of computation, physics, and biology. My interests include emergence as a process, models of collective animal behavior, evolutionary computation, graph-based analyses, cellular automata, and the mathematical frameworks used to analyze dynamical systems. I am particularly interested in understanding how definitions, frameworks, and scale of analysis can be refined, their failure modes, and their applicability to new problem domains. I am seeking projects involving simulation, analysis, and modeling of complex systems or underlying methodological frameworks.
