Science

I am a Professor of Physics at Lycoming College. My research focuses on nonlinear and complex systems.

Research Interests

  • Nonlinear Time Series Analysis
    • Ordinal Symbolization (Bandt-Pompe Methodology)
    • Ordinal Transition Networks
    • Distinguishing between different dynamical behaviors
  • Machine Learning
    • Using ML for time series characterization and prediction
    • Using ML to solve problems in the natural and social sciences
  • Complex Systems
    • Using ML to design intelligent agent-based models
    • Dynamics on networks
  • Economics
    • the effect of taxation and redistribution on the distribution of wealth
