🎓About Me
I am a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics working on probabilistic modeling and surrogate learning for complex mechanical systems.
My thesis is carried out at UPHF and EMSE, within the ANR JCJC GAME project.
🎓 My PhD focuses on Gaussian Process Modeling of Mechanical Random Fields: A complete study from simulation to identification.
Key Highlights:
- ✔ Develop machine learning algorithms, specifically Gaussian processes, for modeling and identifying mechanical random fields.
- ✔ Design specialized covariance kernels tailored to the physics of mechanical systems.
- ✔ Implement and optimize complex computational codes for large-scale simulations and real-world applications.
- ✔ Apply these innovations to engineering challenges, bridging data-driven methods and physical models.
This research advances the integration of machine learning and computational mechanics, improving the accuracy and efficiency of simulations in engineering.
