Lu Lu, PhD

The Lu Group aims to model and simulate physical and biological systems at different scales by integrating modeling, simulation, and machine learning and to provide strategies for system learning, prediction, optimization, and decision-making in real time. Lu Group’s current research interest lies in scientific machine learning (SciML) and artificial intelligence for science (AI4Science), including theory, algorithms, software, and its applications to engineering, physical, and biological problems. Their broad research interests focus on multiscale modeling and high-performance computing for physical and biological systems.
