Gramacy (bobby.gramacy.com) and with colleagues at the Virginia Tech Center for Ecosystem Forecasting (www.ecoforecastprojectvt.org). VT Stats is at the forefront of research and teaching in Uncertainty Quantification and applications of dynamic and stochastic modeling and data-centric inference in the physical and engineering sciences.
Research activities will include: upgrading the surrogate modeling toolkit to accommodate massive stochastic simulation campaigns, input-dependent noise (heteroskedasticity), non-stationary dynamics, and the synthesis of simulation and field observations, all while interfacing with other team members who are developing the simulation models, managing the sensors and recording the field data, and developing a real-time monitoring/forecasting platform for managers.
