James Fairbanks
James Fairbanks is an assistant professor in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and affiliated with the Institute for Computational Engineering, and the Florida Institute for National Security.
My research focuses on new paradigms in scientific computing, specifically applied category theory. This approach to mathematical modeling focuses on structure and structure preserving relationships between mathematical objects. The GATAS lab studies these topics and supports software-focused research in the AlgebraicJulia Ecosystem. We collaborate closely across the HWCOE and with external collaborators at NIST, AFRL, and the Topos Institute.
