AI/ML and digital twin/computer simulation provide a powerful analytics tool for the prediction, optimization, and uncertainty quantification of a wide range of smart cyber-physical systems arising in diverse domains. Building upon my foundational and algorithmic research in AI/ML and digital twin/computer simulation, I work on how to assess/certify the resilience/sustainability of systems found in energy, health care, manufacturing, transportation, and how to design and operate resilient and sustainable systems.
