Research Interests
My research focuses on solvers for large-scale PDE systems, on
uncertainty quantification, and scientific computing and scientific machine
learning. In particular, I work on Bayesian inverse problems, extreme
event probability estimation, PDE-constrained optimization and
optimization under uncertainty.
Most of my research is driven by societally important applications in
climate (sea and land ice, tsunamis), in plasma physics (fusion) and
in computational earth science (mantle flow and
plate tectonics).
