Professor Vasileios Maroulas directs the Maroulas Research Group (MRG) at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. We develop novel AI methods at the interface of machine learning, computational Bayesian statistics, and topological and geometric data analysis. Our mathematically rigorous and statistically robust algorithms have science, engineering, and national defense applications. In addition, some of these algorithms are ready to be implemented in a quantum computer. MRG has secured funding from several federal agencies, including AFOSR, ARO, DoE, VA and NSF; national labs, such as ARL and ORNL; and foundations and private firms, e.g., Simons Foundation, Leverhulme Foundation, Thor Industries, and Eastman.
MRG is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we encourage applications from students and postdocs who will contribute to furthering these goals.
