Silas Alben

I develop and use optimization algorithms (Newton-based, gradient-based, and genetic algorithms) to understand problems in fluid and solid mechanics with applications to biology. Examples of optimally efficient snake locomotion

Karen Smith

I work in algebraic geometry, especially over finite fields. The set of points on an algebraic variety over particular subfields forms an interesting sequence of data sets. Studying it may, I hope, unlock some secrets of algebraic curves or surfaces or higher dimensional objects. I am also interested in connecting statistical forms of AI (machine ...

Efe Yamac Yarbasi

Dr. Yarbasi’s expertise lies in uncertainty quantification for complex systems, verification and validation (V&V) processes, robotics, energy systems modeling within smart building infrastructures, and systems engineering. Prior to joining U-M, he collaborated extensively with government and industry on a range of projects, including the development of a surgical endoscopy robot and the energy optimization of ...

David Kwabi

We study and develop electrochemical devices containing organic materials for applications in grid energy storage and chemical separations (e.g., CO2 capture and nitrogen recovery). A critical aspect of our work involves discerning the impact of chemical reactions as well as mass and charge transport processes on device-level performance metrics. To accomplish this goal, we often ...
