Computational Probability and Uncertainty Quantification
EF 2024-25
Résumé
Modern society is impacted in myriad ways by the behavior of complex physical
systems; the impact of hurricanes on coasts, pollution flow in porous media, and
radiation damage in uranium fuel rods are just a few examples. Combining theory and
computation, Dr. Estep¿s research program is focused on the development of powerful
mathematical and statistical methodologies to draw inferences about complex physical
systems, predict their behavior, and quantify uncertainties in the results. With a
strong interdisciplinary component, Dr. Estep¿s research provides scientists and
engineers with the tools to tackle challenges that have significant societal importance.
