With Braxton Osting, we have considered spectral optimization of point set configurations for adjacency matrices and graphs on two dimensional surfaces. We study both tori and spheres. I will discuss our results, show several numerical simulations and review open problems and interesting directions to take this line of research.

The interplay of experimental observations with mathematical models often requires conditioning models on data---for example, inferring the coefficients or boundary conditions of partial differential equations from noisy functionals of the solution field. The Bayesian approach to these problems in principle requires posterior sampling in high or...

Bayesian inference provides a natural framework for quantifyinguncertainty in PDE-constrained inverse problems, for fusingheterogeneous sources of information, and for conditioning successivepredictions on data. In this setting, simulating from the posteriorvia Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) constitutes a fundamentalcomputational bottleneck. We...

Many inverse problems may involve a large number of observations. Yet these observations are seldom equally informative; moreover, practical constraints on storage, communication, and computational costs may limit the number of observations that one wishes to employ. We introduce strategies for selecting subsets of the data that yield accurate a...
