• Research Focus: Algebraic, geometric, and combinatorial approaches to mathematical biology, specializing in biochemical dynamical systems, neural coding, parameter identifiability, algebraic statistics, and genomics.
• Academic Contributions: Over 15 recent publications spanning identifiability in compartmental models, multistationarity in reaction networks, convexity analysis of neural codes, and algebraic robustness in biochemical systems.

Scientific Recognition:

• Association of Former Students Distinguished Achievement College-Level Award in Teaching (2019)
• Invited speaker for Ethel Ashworth-Tsutsui Memorial Lecture (2018-2019)

Current Research: Investigates structural identifiability in biological models, focusing on compartmental systems, reaction networks, and neural codes through algebraic methods and computational tools. Her work bridges abstract algebra with practical biological applications, including parameter estimation and robustness analysis.

Grant Support: Recipient of NSF CAREER award (2018-2023), prior NSF grants (2010-2017), and Simons Foundation Collaboration Grant (#521874, 2017-2018).

Academic Leadership: Organized multiple international workshops/conferences including SIAM conferences and Banff workshop. Currently an Associate Editor for SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics and serves on the AIM Scientific Research Board.
