Christine Shoemaker

Educational Background

- Creation of general-purpose Dynamic Control or Global Optimization algorithms (some with surrogates).
- Apply algorithms to efficiently parameterize computationally expensive simulation models, including applications in water resources, water quality, surface and groundwater hydrology, carbon sequestration, and climate (“earth systems”) models.
- Shoemaker and her group have created and published general purpose efficient special algorithms that utilize surrogates, global optimization and/or parallel processing.
- Codes for recent global optimization algorithms are posted online for download at no cost. Prof Shoemaker can help decide which codes are appropriate for each application.
