Research interests:听

The primary research in my group is on听data-driven modeling and scientific machine learning.听 Frequently we apply these methods to听biological听systems 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.听These projects have been financially supported by听,听,听,听, and听.
