Leifur Leifsson works on computer-aided engineering design, developing efficient simulation and optimization methods for complex systems such as aircraft wings, antennas, microwave devices, and spacecraft trajectories. A central focus is building fast approximate models (surrogates), including machine learning and Gaussian process methods, that reduce the computational cost of exploring designs and quantifying uncertainty in engineering performance. Much of the recent work combines these surrogate modeling techniques with antenna and microwave circuit design, as well as uncertainty quantification for aerospace applications.
