Areas of Research at ADOPT
Research at ADOPT primarily revolves around using probability and statistics, optimization, learning models and Finite element methods(FEM). The team investigates problems of varied interests in different areas ranging from Uncertainty treatment,optimal designs of computer models built in FEM, decision support systems in aerospace, agriculture and social sciences to digital twins and design space exploration.
Specific Research Topics:
[For further details or updates, please write to me]
- Uncertainty quantification/Design under uncertainties/Non deterministic approaches
- Machine learning methods as Surrogates
- Design space exploration using visualisation approaches such as Self Organizing maps
- Robust design with limited samples including extreme values
