Deep Learning for Dynamical Systems
Predicting spatiotemporal activity of complex system is challenging as the dynamics can span multiple scales. Machine learning allows building models that can predict the complex dynamics with high fidelity. I have developed several machine learning pipelines that can achieve this task.

Adaptive time-sampling based on hierarchical deep learning
Multiscale systems are ubiquitous in science and engineering. Resolving all temporal scales for such systems often incurs a cost that prevents experimentation. In this study, we use techniques from deep learning to learn a hierarchy of different time-scale behaviour that characterize the dynamics of multiscale systems.

Surrogate modeling via Deep learning
Deep learning is revolutionizing every domain of science and engineering ranging from predictive modeling to new drug discoveries. Since large-scale models naturally produce tremendous volumes of data, this can be leveraged by deep-learning technologies to obtain computationally tractable models that facilitate control and optimization tasks in a variety of engineering applications. Towards this direction, I am actively working on developing novel deep-learning frameworks that can learn lower dimensional manifolds that encode the high-fidelity map.

Nonlinear Model Order Reduction
Nonlinear model order reduction using system theoretic measures
Models emerging from the time-dependent nonlinear partial differential equations are highly large-scale and nonlinear resulting in huge computational resources. My work builds upon the idea of the existing generalization of moment-matching to nonlinear systems based on steady-state considerations. Towards this direction, I have proposed various efficient reduction methods for nonlinear state-space models based on approximate moment-matching and techniques from Koopman theory.

Collection of large-scale models for nonlinear model reduction
We provide a publicly available collection of sixteen large-scale benchmark nonlinear state-space models coded in MATLAB. The models are scalable in spatiotemporal degrees of freedom. The aim is to provide the active research community with a suite of high-dimensional nonlinear models to test the state-of-the-art nonlinear model reduction strategies.

Data-driven Power Grid Parameter Estimation
Data-driven modeling of power systems
Modern power grids consist of thousands of loads, interconnects, and sources. With the increasing integration of decentralized renewable generation, it is getting even more complex. The de-facto computational barrier limits our ability to analyze the power systems thoroughly. My work focuses on using modern Koopman analysis to obtain low-dimensional models that are amenable to linear control theory. Also, I have worked on discovering models from power system data that are parsimonious; thus promoting sparsity and generalizability.
