University of Toronto Engineering Professor Prasanth Nair (UTIAS) has been awarded the Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Computational Modeling and Design Optimization Under Uncertainty .
The prestigious honour recognizes Professor Nair’s research excellence, which involves developing the next generation of computational methods for improving the performance and safety of complex engineering systems.
His work will concentrate on ways to reduce the time and money it takes to run select systems that often do not perform the same way in theory as they do in the real world.
To address this challenge, he will “focus on developing new mathematical frameworks and methods for computational modeling in the presence of uncertainty,” he explained. “This work will ultimately be used to design systems that perform as intended – saving time and money and making engineered systems safer.”
