William Gilpin is an assistant professor of physics at The University of Texas at Austin. He leads a research group developing new computational tools for modeling, controlling, and forecasting complex systems, using a combination of machine learning and classical mathematical methods for chaotic time series. His group particularly focuses on applications to bioinformatics, biomedical datasets, and large-scale fluid dynamics simulations. His research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the National Geographic Society.
