Sunia Tanweer
Research-Track faculty at University of Michigan - tasked with establishing the Intelligent Algorithms Core under MCAIM.
I have a dual-major PhD in Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Computational Mathematics, Sciences and Engineering (CMSE) from Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA. My doctoral research was focused on time series analysis, dynamical systems and bifurcations using stochastic methods and topological data analysis. My research won the NSF-funded Frontera Computational Science Fellowship for 2025-26 -- awarding me with approx. $50000 in funding and access to the fastest academic supercomputer in the US.
I completed my Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (SMME), NUST, Pakistan, as batch valedictorian (received the President's Gold Medal for academic excellence).
I am a conscientious engineer and scientist with an aim to utilize my knowledge and pass it on to others. I find myself interested in discussions about life, religion and poetry. Some of my poems, written in the language of Urdu, can be read here.
Research
The future is interdisciplinary: my current work finds solutions of problems in dynamical systems using ML and topology - though I am interested in all sorts of applied and fundamental problems. Find some of my works below (please see Google Scholar for updates).
Talks
Getting a PhD isn't nearly as interesting without presenting your work. Find some of my past talks linked below. As for recording them, could've-should've-would've but didn't.
