Program Focus
My research spans the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and cyberbiosecurity for water systems and smart agriculture. My team and I develop AI applications and assurance algorithms to address persisting water security and agricultural public policy challenges, such as: analyzing international ag trade, protecting water supply systems, optimizing smart-farming and precision agriculture, and understanding the economic effects of outlier events on biological systems (such as rivers and watersheds) using data-driven methods. However, throughout these AI deployments, serious show-stopper problems are persistent, such as: AI explainability, security, causality, and trustworthiness; as well as data bias and incompleteness, data democracy, and dark data. My research is at the intersection of these issues.
