My main interest is in the computational aspects of  statistical inference in problems where both the 

data and the mathematical models are noisy and/or incomplete. This includes sampling algorithms, 

data assimilation and filtering, noise modeling, and aspects of statistical mechanics. The 

applications include geophysical fluid mechanics, neuroscience, and turbulence modeling.
