Force Field Design with Bayesian Learning
Bayesic Force Fields (BFF) is an open source, Bayesian force field learning tool aimed at addressing transferability and robustness issues with existing biomolecular force fields. The code performs efficient Bayesian inference with physically motivated priors on Coulombic, bonded, and non-bonded terms.

Gaussian Processes for Molecular Modeling
Gaussian processes can model complex experimental data and interatomic interactions while enabling rigorous uncertainty quantification and propagation within a Bayesian framework. We apply state-of-the-art GP methods, including local [1], spectral, and non-stationary kernel design [2], to develop next-generation molecular simulation tools.

Ohia Lehua Population Model with a Spatial Gaussian Process Classifier
Airborn imaging spectroscopy is a valuable method to characterize the distribution of plant life for ecological, agricultural, and environmental research. In this study, spectroscopy measurements of ‘Ohi’a Lehua, a keystone tree species on the Big Island of Haw’aii, were collected for tree samples at various locations across the island.
