The FORMES Group, led by Prof. Yves Atchade at Boston University, works at the intersection of statistics, machine learning and environmental sciences. We develop and analyze statistical and computational methods to address problems in climate science, remote sensing, and public health.
Research Focus
Bayesian Inference and MCMC
Method and theory aspects of Bayesian statistics and Markov chain Monte Carlo.
Statistical modeling with PDEs
Inverse problems with PDEs. Statistical and computational aspects.
Various environmental applications
Rainfall and flood forecasting, agrometeorology, mathematical models for public health.
Remote Sensing
Radiative transfer inverse problems using multi-sensor satellite data.
