First to design generalized (nonextensive, deformed) statistical mechanics based paradigms & algorithms for both sequential & massively parallel computing archit., for complex systems exhibiting correlations, fluctuations, and long range interactions in machine learning (information bottleneck method & deterministic annealing). Pioneered research in generalized statistics & machine learning paradigms (information bottleneck method) in physical cryptoanalysis. Development of generalized statistics free energy model for unmixing of endmembers in hyperspectral remote sensing using unsupervised learning.
First to developed a methodology for projecting covert information into statistical distributions inferred using the inverse maximum entropy principle and an information theoretic (Fisher) game. Development of a q-deformed Grover search algorithm in quantum computing based on the q-deformed time dependent Schroedinger equation, which serves as a prospective tool to develop generalized statistical physics connotations to the Grover algorithm. Development of relation between the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and cost functions for fuzzy clustering using a discrete variational complex.
Pioneered the formulation of invariant numerical schemes for simulating laser-plasma interaction, and, in computer vision applications for both sequential and massively parallel computing architectures.
