I am currently a machine learning scientist in General Motors. I am broadly interested in predictive modeling and problems in computational science. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Utah. My research, primarily, focuses on developing scalable computational algorithms for design optimization and uncertainty quantification of complex engineering systems. My research interests are:

• Multifidelity-Multilevel Approaches for Uncertainty Quantification
• Numerical Linear Algebra
• Variational Inference and Statistical Learning for Design Optimization
• Scalable Gaussian Process Regression
• Topology Optimization under Uncertainty
• Multiscale Topology Optimization
• Damage and Nonlocal Mechanics in Design Optimization
