About

I’m an incoming mathematics PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley. Previously, I completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in electrical engineering, both at Stanford University.

My research interests are broadly related to optimization, probability, and partial differential equations (PDEs). For instance, some of my previous research investigates the convergence of neural network-based PDE solvers for mean-field control and reachability problems, and I remain interested in interacting particle systems that arise in both control-theoretic settings and in modern applications of statistical physics. You can find more information about my research on my Google Scholar page and in my CV. I typically use my legal name, William, for academic purposes.

When I’m not learning about math, I like to spend my time in my home state of Colorado. That isn’t always possible, but the hills and coastline near the Bay Area aren’t a bad substitute.
