Research summary
AI-generated

Jitesh H. Panchal's research focuses on engineering design methods, including how decisions are made early in the design process, how to allocate resources when designing complex systems, and how demand for evolving products (like software or tech that updates frequently) can be modeled. Recent work also explores using AI tools such as large language models and reinforcement learning to support design tasks, and testing frameworks for AI-based systems like autonomous vehicles. This research aims to help engineers make better decisions when designing products and systems under uncertainty.
