UQ - Junior Research Group Uncertainty Quantification

Mathematical models are ubiquitous in applications across science and technology, where these models are used to describe complex processes. To systematically investigate and predict phenomena of interest using computer simulations based on these models, we need accurate, reliable, and efficient computational methods. 

Many complex models of practical relevance are affected by uncertainties, for example due to a lack of knowledge of material properties, intrinsic natural variability, or by incorporating noisy data. Such uncertainties inevitably impact the considered mathematical model and consequently the quantification of the reliability of simulation outcomes.

The junior research group Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) develops advanced mathematical and numerical techniques for the treatment and quantification of uncertainties in complex computational models. Our research focuses on theoretical and methodological aspects, as well as on interdisciplinary projects where theoretical sound methodologies are tailored to applications.
