Ocean Data Assimilation: Numerical Ocean Modeling, Uncertainty Quantification and Inference Schemes, and Applications to Physical and Interdisciplinary Ocean Dynamics and Engineering.

With his group, he creates, develops and utilizes new mathematical models and computational methods for ocean predictions and dynamical diagnostics, for optimization and control of autonomous ocean systems, for uncertainty quantification and prediction, and for data assimilation and data-model comparisons. He has participated in many national and international sea exercises. He has served on numerous committees and organized large meetings and workshops. He is associate editor in three journals. He has more than hundred twenty refereed publications.
