Research interests:
The primary research in my group is onÌýdata-driven modeling and weak form scientific machine learning.Ìý Frequently we apply these methods toÌýbiologicalÌýsystems including: bacterial community population dynamics and biomechanics, cellular migration, infectious diseases, and designs for an artificial pancreas. However, more recently, we have expanded the applications to include computational plasma physics in the context of fusion.ÌýThese projects have been financially supported byÌý,Ìý,Ìý,Ìý, andÌý.
