Research Interest

  

My research interests include computational methods and stochastic analysis. In computational methods and their numerical analysis, my research emphasizes on the computations of long-term behaviours in stochastic dynamical systems. To be precise, my works focus on the numerical approximations for the invariant probability measures and transitions as rare events. In particular, my current interest focuses on solving these and related problems using machine learning methods, as well as their applications. The works are interdisciplinary, involving Fokker–Planck PDEs, large deviation theory, uncertainty quantification, coupling methods, machine learning methods. In stochastic analysis, I focus on stochastic integration and white noise theory and their applications in (particularly non-adapted) stochastic differential equations.
