Current Collaborations

Dr. Krishnakumar Balasubramanian University of California, Davis and Dr. Quan Zhou Texas A&M University, College Station
We are working on developing and analyzing discrete Langevin dynamics to sample from classical energy-based models like the Ising and Potts model.
Dr. Dheeraj Nagaraj Google DeepMind and Dr. Anant Raj Indian Institute of Science
We are working on analyzing an algorithm to sample from the mean-field Langevin dynamics using optimization in the space of probability measures. We also analyze applications to mean-field neural networks.
