Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Bakarji is an assistant professor and computational scientist with nine years of research experience bridging applied mathematics, mechanics, and machine learning to study self-organization and intelligence in natural and engineered systems. Trained at Stanford (PhD) and UC San Diego (MS), he has led interdisciplinary projects from social–hydrological modeling and control for policy guidance to designing finless microrockets and a musical glove instrument, reflecting a blend of theory, hands-on prototyping, and computation. His work emphasizes multiscale multiphysics simulation, stochastic granular dynamics, and data-driven discovery of physical laws, often using control theory to translate models into actionable solutions. Based in Beirut, he combines rigorous academic research with creative technical craftsmanship — a pianist by training who brings an uncommon artistic perspective to problems in computation and design.
