I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISEN) at Texas A&M University. I received my Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2022.
My research focuses on data-driven models integrated with domain knowledge. My research interests lie in advanced statistical models and data mining methods to address critical challenges in advanced Engineering processes and systems, including emerging manufacturing processes and IoT-enabled connected systems. My research focuses on data-driven modeling, analysis, design and control of manufacturing/Engineering quality and process. In manufacturing domain, I have been establishing data-driven methods for monitoring, diagnosis, prognostics, and decision-making.
Specifically, my research topics include
Mathematical/probability modeling of complex Engineering processes and systems
Uncertainty quantification along with prediction/inference
Surrogate modeling to facilitate numerical simulation and enhance digital twins.
Data-driven design/optimization of processes and products
Statistical process and quality control
Nonparametric statistical modeling and machine learning methods
Manufacturing system decision making.
