Research

Shields Uncertainty Research Group deals with wide-ranging problems in computational physics, mechanics, and materials science. Our broad interest is in the influence of uncertainties on complex physical systems. As such, the breadth of applications is very wide and benefit tremendously from collaborations with expertise in diverse domains. Below is a list of several ongoing projects in the group.
