Latin-Hypercube, Stochastic Surface Response Method, High
Dimensional Model Reduction and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to
study the effect of parameter and input uncertainties on model
outputs of reaction and transport models like FACT, RPM etc.
- IIT Bombay (1998-1999) : Multi-purpose
simulator development project. Steady state simulation of process
flowsheets involving the generation and solution of large and
complex sets of non-linear algebraic equations using various
numerical methods. (B.Tech. Project).
