Background

Research interests

My research focuses on applied and computational mathematics, particularly on uncertainty quantification (UQ), modeling and system identification, inverse problems, and data-driven model learning. The main applications driving my research are from hydrology. More precisely, in my work, I am bridging the gap between theoretical work on High-dimensional Uncertainty Quantification and Bayesian Inversion, applied to relatively simple simulation models, and more complex real-world problems.

  • High-dimensional Forward Uncertainty Quantification and Sensitivity analysis (mainly, analysis of conceptual distribured hydrological models)
  • Sparse Grids Methods
  • Inverse problems - Bayesian Inference
  • Machine Learning
