Research Interests:
Numerical and analytical methods for solving partial and ordinary differential equations and mathematical modeling. The main contribution of my research is to find both analytical and also numerical solutions of various differential equations. Also, I have tried to develop mathematical models of glassy-winged sharpshooter population in Texas vineyard and consider the optimal management protocols for protecting Pierce's Disease in Texas vineyard using the reasonable mathematical model.
Academic Interests:
I have participated in the various undergraduate research programs so that students could have opportunities for a deeper understanding of mathematical modeling of scientific phenomena.
