Previously he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at University of Texas at Austin. He holds Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from University at Buffalo. He is currently working on the development of a comprehensive uncertainty quantification framework to accelerate the scientific discovering process and decision-making under uncertainty. Some projects currently supported by NSF and VP for Research include discovery of novel catalytic materials for biorefinery industry, modeling and prediction of naturally occurring carcinogenic toxins, and development of statistical models for tracking individual student knowledge.
