I’m a machine learning research engineer.

My work spans scientific machine learning, inverse problems, and applied AI, including language and vision models. I develop and evaluate research methods, and build systems that put those ideas to use.

I’m interested in philosophy, knowledge representation, leadership, and politics. More about me

Research

I currently work on scientific machine learning and its applications in computational fluid dynamics.

My published work focuses mainly on two-phase flow in porous media, including physics-informed models, training methods, and inverse modelling.

My personal interests, however, lie in knowledge representation, causality, and cognitive AI. I am still developing this research and have not yet published work on these questions.

Selected publications

  1. Coupled pressure and saturation prediction for two-phase flow in porous media using physics-informed neural networks (PINNs)

    One physics-informed network trained on both the pressure and water-saturation equations got pressure right but misplaced the water front. Bigger networks and reweighting didn’t fix it; a small diffusion term with tuned weights did.

  2. Performance and stability of physics-informed Kolmogorov-Arnold networks for two-phase transport in porous media: A comparative study with physics-informed neural networks

    Kolmogorov–Arnold networks promise accuracy with fewer parameters. On a sharp water front, ours used a third of the parameters but needed over twice the smoothing and about 50 times the training time.

  3. Identifiability and Conditioning of Flux-Parameter Inversion for the Buckley–Leverett Equation

    Physics alone cannot fix the viscosity ratio in a water-displaces-oil model. We show which measurements can, how much their errors are amplified, and why a good fitted field does not guarantee a good estimate.
