Hello! I'm Andrea
I am a postdoctoral researcher working in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh. I am working with Professor Bard Ermentrout on dynamics in neurosystems. My research interests include collective motion and pattern formation in biophysical systems. I work towards diversity and inclusion of people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, people with disabilities, and mental health in academia.
