Master’s Thesis 📜

  • The Scalable Spatial Echo State Network for Detection of Anomalous Ocean Surface Topography
    Supervisor: James Avery (avery@nbi.dk)
    Description: Developed a linearly-scalable echo-state RNN for high-dimensional spatio-temporal forecasting without knowing the governing PDEs. Built an adaptive anomaly detector for ocean transitions, training on years of simulation data in minutes with one-shot (no gradient) updates.
    Grade: 12 / A
