Summary
My research interests span several areas including:
(1) reduced-order modelling;
(2) machine-learning for scientific applications;
(3) urban and environmental flows.
I am currently working on the EPSRC-funded "RELIANT project" (Risk EvaLuatIon fAst iNtelligent Tool for COVID19), which aims to identify solutions for the management of people and spaces in the current pandemic and during the easing of restrictions.
I am a co-author of one of Wiley's top cited articles (Jan 2021 - Dec 2022): An autoencoder-based reduced-order model for eigenvalue problems with application to neutron diffusion (https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.6681), which proposed using an autoencoder rather than proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to obtain a low-dimensional space for a reduced-order model. The autoencoder can capture the behaviour of a system with fewer degrees of freedom compared to POD.
