My work focuses on the modeling of complex systems from the Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis (PSA) and Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) perspective. I develop methodologies to efficiently characterize input-output relationships in computationally expensive simulators, enabling both qualitative understanding (which factors matter most?) and quantitative assessment (how much does each factor contribute to output uncertainty?).
