Jose Marie Antonio Minoza

Researcher in mathematical foundations of AI and Scientific ML. Using dynamical systems theory (Neural Tangent Kernels, Koopman operators, tropical geometry), I develop interpretable, robust physics-informed models for climate science, bioinformatics, and chemistry. Focus: mechanistic interpretability, uncertainty quantification, and responsible AI.
