Society is impacted in myriad ways by the behavior of complex physical systems. The impact of weather prediction, climate change, pollution, and engineering materials are just a few examples.

To dive deeper into this impact, explore Don’s research and papers.

Taking an Integrated Approach

A characteristic of multiphysics systems is that it is possible to observe certain aspects of behavior at some scales experimentally and to construct well-validated process models of some component behavior at some scales. But we cannot directly observe or model all important behaviors and interactions.

Thus, the study of multiphysics systems faces significant challenges that require, at a minimum, integrating all available data and models. 

The long-term goal of my research program is to develop powerful computational and statistical tools to draw inferences about complex multiphysics systems, predict their behavior, and quantify uncertainties in the results.

The tools used in Don’s research include:

– Statistics
– Measure & Probability Theory
– Differential Geometry

Stochastic Inverse Problems

The stochastic inverse problem for a random vector is the problem of inferring information about unobservable characteristics of a complex system from observed data from experiments. This provides a way to understand and predict system behavior so is core to science and engineering. Estep and collaborators have developed a powerful general measure theoretic framework for solving the stochastic inverse problem.

Modeling of Large Communication Networks

Direct simulation of large communication networks is very important for designing networks to achieve desired performance.

Analysis of Numerical Solutions of Dynamical Systems

Computer simulation of trajectories in dynamical systems is a key scientific tool for inference and prediction. However, numerical approximation introduces error that can have a significant effect on the behavior of simulated trajectories. The analysis of such effects is technically difficult because standard approaches are too crude to provide meaningful information. Estep and collaborators have carried out analysis of the effects of numerical approximation on several classes of dynamical systems.
