Soumendra Lahiri, the Stanley A. Sawyer Professor in Mathematics and Statistics, received two grants from the National Science Foundation for collaborative research projects. The first is a $333,763 award for a project titled “Prediction and Uncertainty Quantification of Non-Gaussian Spatial Processes with Applications to Large-scale Flooding in Urban Areas.”
Along with Manel Errando, assistant professor of physics; Yajie Yuan, assistant professor of physics; and Alex Chen, research assistant professor of physics, Lahiri also won a $299,131 early-concept grant for exploratory research (EAGER) for a time-domain study of the dynamics of relativistic jets. The project is part of NSF’s Advancing Discovery with AI-Powered Tools (ADAPT) initiative in the mathematical and physical sciences.
