What I Do Best
Stochastic Modelling
I develop and apply advanced stochastic models to simulate and predict complex natural and engineered systems. My work focuses on integrating data-driven insights with probabilistic frameworks to improve forecasting accuracy and decision-making under uncertainty.
Uncertainty Quantification
I specialize in identifying, modeling, and minimizing uncertainty within computational models. By combining statistical inference with numerical simulation, I help ensure that predictions remain robust and reliable even under variable or incomplete data conditions.
Groundwater Study
My research and projects involve analyzing subsurface hydrological processes through numerical modeling and field data integration. I aim to enhance groundwater resource management, contamination risk assessment, and sustainable water planning using quantitative and data-centric approaches.
