Research Interests
My research concerns topics from applied analysis (differential equations and their applications) and data science (machine learning, etc.). Over the years, I have investigated a number of key areas related to statistical physics, materials science, and machine learning.
Applied Areas (Computational/Statistical modelling and code development)
- Prostate cancer research
- Machine learning for traffic accident analysis (scenario development for smart vehicles)
- Code improvement for atmospheric science research (incorporated into Met Office UM)
- Modelling colloidal inks for 3D printing (developed models for ink transport, stain patterns)
Theoretical Areas (Analysis of DEs, PDEs)
- Kinetic theory of growth processes (analysis of exchange-driven growth systems)
- Kinetic theory of plasmas (analysis of systems with complex boundary conditions)
- Phase transitions and interface motion (dynamics with anisotropic surface tension)
Hobbies
Travelling & E-sports.
