Experience

• Brigham Young University

  Teaching Assistant

  • Taught college algebra, calculus 2, business calculus, and multivariable calculus.
  
  • Teaching assistant for calculus 1-2, partial differential equations, linear functional analysis, and nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos.

• Brigham Young University

  Content Developer

  • Developed and taught a year-long sequence of computational labs in Python solving applications of ODEs and PDEs, for BYU’s applied mathematics program for senior undergraduate students (see www.acme.byu.edu and https://github.com/joshualy/Labs)

• Brigham Young University

  Researcher

  • Examined the stability of viscous detonations in the multi-dimensional reactive Navier-Stokes equations, covering a large parameter space with parallel processing tools and BYU’s supercomputer
  
  • Built StabLabPy, a Python library providing numerical tools for studying the stability of traveling waves via the numerical Evans function (see https://github.com/joshualy/stablab_python)
  
  • Used numerical continuation to track unstable eigenvalues of the high Lewis number combustion system as exothermicity increased, reducing computation time from several weeks to several hours

• Geisinger Medical Center

  Data Scientist

  • Analyzed methods of imputing clinical lab measures in Geisinger’s EHR data.
  
  • Refined the BTI Institute’s use of permuted, model permuted, and rank permuted p-values to deal with statistical significance in their genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
