Research Interests
Research Interests:
My research interests are in the areas of machine learning, algorithm development, modeling dynamical systems, and control theory. I am interested in creating novel algorithms for numerically solving systems of differential equations, especially boundary value problems. My most recent research uses supervised learning algorithms and includes the estimation of molecular energy using molecular structure, and disease classification using images.
