Research Grants
- My research program has been supported by a broad portfolio of federal, state, university, and industry funding, with projects spanning statistical methodology, reliability and risk analysis, artificial intelligence and machine learning, high-performance computing, and interdisciplinary applications in transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and cyber-physical systems. I have served as PI, Co-PI, or Co-Investigator on more than 20 funded projects, including awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI), DuPont, and Virginia Tech. Collectively, these projects represent more than $4 million in sponsored funding. Recent projects focus particularly on AI-powered statistical analysis, AI reliability and robustness, and Bayesian methods for reliability and risk assessment. Please see my CV for a detailed list of funded projects and awards.
