My research on algorithms and optimization for problems that typically have enormous amounts of possible solutions to consider.  My specific area of expertise is in Integer Programming or Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming.

My recent application work includes fair redistricting, machine scheduling for space exploration, and aquatic invasive species prevention through collaborative efforts - a game theoretic budget allocation problem.  

I hope that my optimization background can be useful in in contexts for WHC.
