I am an assistant professor at UC San Diego department of Computer Science and Engineering and Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute . I am a primary faculty with the AI Group and am affiliated with Contextual Robotics Institute , Bioinformatics and Systems Biology , and Center for Machine-Integrated Computing and Security .
My research interests lie primarily in machine learning , especially for large-scale spatiotemporal data. I am generally interested in deep learning, optimization, and spatiotemporal reasoning. I am particularly excited about the interplay between physics and machine learning. My work has been applied to learning dynamical systems in sustainability, health and physical sciences. For more details, see my curriculum vitae . For prospective students, please read this before emailing me.
Decision-making under uncertainty requires models that can generate not only point estimates but also confidence intervals. We investigate deep sequence models for Bayesian optimization in spatiotemporal domain, with the goal to reduce sample complexity, provide risk assessment, and guide policy making.
