Wenbo Sun

Assistant Research Scientist

Uncertainty quantification and decision making are increasingly demanded with the development of future technology in engineering and transportation systems. Among the uncertainty quantification problems, I am particularly interested in statistical modelling of engineering system responses with considering the high dimensionality and complicated correlation structure, as well as quantifying the uncertainty from a variety of sources simultaneously, such as the inexactness of large-scale computer experiments, process variations, and measurement noises. I am also interested in data-driven decision making that is robust to the uncertainty. Specifically, I deliver methodologies for anomaly detection and system design optimization, which can be applied to manufacturing process monitoring, distracted driving detection, out-of-distribution object identification, vehicle safety design optimization, etc.

Expertise: computer vision, vehicle safety, assistant driving systems, smart manufacturing, statistical modeling of engineering system responses, data-driven decision making, development of methodologies for anomaly detection and system design optimization, Gaussian process modeling, generative models, anomaly detection.
