There is no conflict between causality and randomness or between determinism and probability if we agree, as we must, that scientific theories are not discoveries of the laws of nature but rather inventions of the human mind. --Athanasios Papoulis, in Probability, Random Variables, and Stochastic Processes, McGraw-Hill.

 

I am interested in realizing methodological insights by utilizing Statistical Signal Processing & Computational Intelligence for problems in the earth sciences, ecology or energy.
