Summary

Alex is a first-year Ph.D. student in Applied Mathematics at the University of Nevada, Reno, working under the advisement of Dr. Aleksey Telyakovskiy. His current research focuses on the analytical study of nonlinear differential equations, with broader interests in dynamical systems and applications to control theory.

Alex got his B.S. in Mathematics at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he also worked with Dr. Telyakovskiy on finite difference calculus on time scales, receiving the Nevada Undergraduate Research Award for this work, which explored connections to fractional PID controllers.
