Research area(s)

Finite element, and related, methods in space and time for partial differential equations arising in continuum mechanics. Particularly interested in dispersive materials such as polymers and lossy dielectrics for which the constitutive laws exhibit memory effects. Currently interested in using real or (from forward solves) virtual training data to solve inverse problems using machine learning, with a particular focus on deep neural networks. The motivating application for this inverse problem work is in screening for coronary artery disease.

Research Interests

Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics: finite element and related methods. Dispersive media (viscoelasticity and lossy dielectrics); deep neural nets and machine learning.
