Shanyin Tong is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in uncertainty quantification, PDE-constrained optimization, inverse problems, and rare events. Their research focuses on extreme event probability estimation using PDE-constrained optimization and large deviation theory, with applications to tsunamis and earthquake-induced tsunami inundation. Tong also explores scalable methods for computing extreme event probabilities in stochastic systems and develops adaptive importance sampling techniques for rare events in high dimensions. Their work includes sensitivity analysis in Bayesian inverse problems and policy iteration methods for inverse mean field games. These contributions highlight a strong emphasis on mathematical modeling and computational methods for risk assessment and control in complex systems.
