2022–2026 PhD in Applied Mathematics: Physics-informed machine learning methods for hydraulics and hydrology models
Conducted physics-informed machine learning research for hydrology and hydraulics applications, focusing on parameter identification from observed system behavior. Built and trained models that incorporate physical constraints to infer thousands of parameters automatically from data. This work involved creating training/learning pipelines using scientific datasets and simulation-informed objectives rather than human labeling. • Developed physics-informed neural network approaches for hydraulics/hydrology • Trained models for spatially distributed parameter identification • Used physics constraints to guide learning and reduce data requirements • Produced research outputs suitable for inverse problems in flood simulation
