SUMMARY:IFDS Ideas Forum: Vivak Patel
DESCRIPTION:Person: Vivak Patel \nTitle: Adaptive Iterative Methods for Linear Systems \nAbstract: \nBio: My research is at the intersection of numerical optimization and statistical estimation with applications to dynamical systems. On the one hand\, I interpret this as using numerical optimization ideas to design statistical estimators that are practically computable\, yet still retain certain desirable statistical properties. On the other hand\, I interpret this as using statistical ideas to design optimization methods for solving minimization problems that involve uncertainty. Beyond these two main areas of work\, I also do some work in machine learning\, numerical linear algebra and load modeling for power systems.

SUMMARY:IFDS Ideas Forum: Jeffrey Covington
DESCRIPTION:Title: \nAbstract: \nJeffrey Covington (Mathematics)\, advised by Nan Chen (Mathematics) and Sebastien Roch (Mathematics)\, works on data assimilation for model state estimation and prediction. His primary focus is on models with nonlinear and non-Gaussian features\, which present problems for traditional data assimilation techniques. Currently he is working on developing techniques for Lagrangian data assimilation problems\, which typically involve high-dimensionality and strong nonlinear interactions.
