Summary:
I'm a researcher at SINTEF in the Artificial Intelligence and Analytics research group based in Oslo, where I am currently working on application of AI to industrial problems. In particular, we focus on hybrid-AI, which is a field that integrates domain knowledge, such as physics, with machine-learning. We work on a range of problems including helping industry and startups integrate machine learning into their products. Currently, my primary research focus is centered around physics-informed machine learning for time-series, which is aims at augmenting neural networks with, for example, physical priors.
Interests:
My interests lie broadly within scientific machine learning, Python, geometric numerical analysis and computational physics. In particular, I have partaken in projects involving:
physics-informed machine learning,
symplectic and structure-preserving neural networks,
energy-preserving and symplectic numerical methods for ODEs/PDEs,
numerical methods for particles in fluids,
discrete dynamical integrable systems,
geometric properties of Runge-Kutta methods, and
mimetic finite-difference methods for wave equations on curvilinear coordinates.
