Profile Summary

I define myself as a mathematical engineer and computational scientist. My work focuses on advancing our understanding of physical and biological phenomena, improving the design of engineering systems, and supporting informed decision-making under uncertainty by use of mathematical/statistical modeling and high-performance computing. An important component of my work is the systematic integration of mathematical models and data (e.g., experimental measures and images) using the Bayesian framework. Throughout my career, I have led the development of novel formulations and algorithms for the solution of both forward and inverse problems. I have achieved this by establishing a close working collaboration with some of the leading research experts in the fields of medical imaging, geophysics, engineering, computational sciences, and applied mathematics.
