Recent Scholarly Works

Data generation with optimal experimental design for operator learning

Journal article Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering · March 1, 2026 Partial differential equations (PDEs) are fundamental to modeling complex physical phenomena across scientific disciplines. While operator learning offers a promising alternative to conventional PDE solvers, it generally requires substantial high-fidelity ... Full text Cite

Asymptotically optimal change detection for unnormalized pre- and post-change distributions

Journal article Sequential Analysis · January 1, 2026 This paper addresses the problem of detecting changes when only unnormalized pre- and post-change distributions are accessible. This situation happens in many scenarios in physics, such as in ferromagnetism, crystallography, magneto-hydrodynamics, and ther ... Full text Cite

Cross-subject mapping of neural activity with restricted Boltzmann machines.

Journal article Frontiers in computational neuroscience · January 2026 Subject-to-subject variability is a common challenge in generalizing neural data models across subjects, discriminating subject-specific and inter-subject features in large neural datasets, and engineering neural interfaces with subject-specific tuning.
