Science Guided Machine Learning: Incorporating Scientific Domain Knowledge for Learning Under Data Paucity and Noisy Contexts
In recent years, the large amount of labeled data available has helped tend machine learning (ML) research toward using purely data driven end-to-end pipelines, e.g., in deep neural network research. However, in many situations, data is limited and of poor quality. Traditional ML pipelines are …

Applications of Data-Driven Learning Models in Fluid Mechanics: Solid-Fluid Multiphase Systems and Bat Flight
… in randomly arranged solid arrays, and (3) data-driven analysis of bat flight kinematics. First, we address the challenge of accurately predicting individual particle drag forces in dense suspensions. Meso-scale models such as CFD-DEM often rely on empirical drag correlations that neglect …

The conservation status and dynamics of a protected African lion Panthera leo population in Kafue National Park, Zambia
… species. In this thesis I aimed to address the paucity of management and conservation relevant data on Kafue's lion population. I first used a track-based occupancy survey to determine the broad-scale drivers of lion distribution in the park. My results did not support my a priori expectations …

The epidemiology of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDS) and NCD risk factors in adolescents & youth living with HIV in Cape Town, South Africa
… antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, there is data paucity on the intersection of NCDs and HIV in adolescents in South Africa and Africa. This thesis aims to contribute to the limited evidence base in LMIC settings by investigating NCD multimorbidity and risk factors in AYLHIV within a context …
