Application of Bayesian ideology in validation and uncertainty quantification (VUQ) frameworks. Probabilistic calibration and discerning of model-form uncertainty.Utilizing Gaussian Processes for surrogates model throughout VUQ activities.Implementation of mineral particle precipitation-physics into a 1-D reactor model utilizing population balances, DQMOM/QMOM, mixing models, and extensive particle physical-phenomena. Ultimately used to validate sub-models prior to transfer to CFD model.Crystal nucleation, growth, dissolution, and aggregation modelsInterfacial tension thermodynamic descriptions and modelsAqueous phase ionic-equilibrium chemistry modelsCalcium carbonate polymorphs, thermodynamic equilibrium

Investigated and developed Bayesian methods of approaching parameter calibration and model-form uncertainty for computational multi-physics problems
