Possible Research...

Possible Research Collaboration!!! Hi. Will you be interested in collaborating on a project, in your field of expertise and beyond, that involves expensive numerical/stochastic or experimental simulations with the aim to significantly lower the computational cost while maintaining a high level of accuracy of the models solutions? I wish the problems to be innovative, to have a certain level of complexity (parametric, non-linearities, etc), to be multidisciplinary, probably multi-objective with the possibility to fuse data from different sources (multi-fidelity problems). It would be interesting if the project could contribute in the development of anything sustainable and needed in Africa. To summarize, it is all about applying design of experiments and surrogate models to your fields of expertise, reducing the complexity of the problems encountered (dimensionality reduction), quantify the uncertainties wherever required, make use of the sensitivities or even starting with actual (available) results of some measurements to infer the values of the parameters that characterize the underlying systems (inverse problems). Would you have something in mind or willing to know more about the methodologies above-mentioned, I will be glad to have some talks with you. Feel free to send me an email. The project can involve social sciences, natural sciences and/or engineering sciences. Hope to hear from anyone of you. Cheers, Raul ps: This collaboration could indeed be limited to a basic research work that will have to lead to a journal paper
