A fair amount of my recent activities have been related to global sensitivity analysis. My former student Joey Hart has played a key role in this. Here is a recent talk that will give you the flavor of what we are doing and some related pubs

In collaboration with Daniel Tartakovsky, we have taken a good look at the “PDF method” and made some measurable progress

Against my best judgment, I am again involved with the modeling of, and numerical methods for, granular flows
