Connor Magoon

I am an Applied Mathematics PhD student at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
My primary area of research is on simulations and modeling of fluids in the Physical Mathematics Lab under the direction of Prof. Pedro Sáenz.
My secondary area is in the intersection of optimization, machine learning, and graphics with advisor Prof. Shahar Kovalsky.
