Summary of Research
Fadi is interested in the mathematical foundations of generative modeling and modern sampling algorithms. He aims to develop principled methods, drawing on stochastic calculus, optimal transport, and optimal control, to make generative models more efficient, reliable, and theoretically grounded. He is also interested in bringing these methods to bear on scientific computing problems.
