Anantha Narayanan Suresh Babu

Anantha Narayanan Suresh Babu is a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering whose research is focused on stochastic modeling and Bayesian learning of sea ice dynamics, as well as scientific deep learning and neural closure modeling for ocean dynamics. Anantha’s second MathWorks Fellowship will enable him to extend this work. His first focus will be utilizing a MATLAB-based Gaussian mixture model filtering and model learning framework for discriminating between competing sea ice model formulations and discovering new models from data. His second focus will be developing and refining physics-inspired neural architectures and training methodologies to model complex fluid and oceanic processes, including sea ice. By combining the strengths of physics-based numerical modeling with the adaptability and efficiency of deep learning, the resulting neural closure models promise enhanced accuracy and predictive capabilities at a significantly reduced computational cost. Anantha’s work holds the potential to advance our understanding of sea ice and ocean dynamics, which could have applications in climate modeling, environmental monitoring and forecasting, marine ecosystem protection, resource management, maritime transport, and policy and decision-making for the future of our planet.
