Computational Probability And Uncertainty Quantification

现代社会受到复杂物理系统行为的无数影响;飓风对海岸的影响，多孔介质中的污染流以及铀燃料棒的辐射损伤只是几个例子。结合理论和计算，Estep博士的研究计划专注于开发强大的数学和统计方法，以推断复杂的物理系统，预测其行为，并量化结果中的不确定性。凭借强大的跨学科组成部分，Estep博士的研究为科学家和工程师提供了应对具有重大社会意义的挑战的工具。

Modern society is impacted in myriad ways by the behavior of complex physical systems; the impact of hurricanes on coasts, pollution flow in porous media, and radiation damage in uranium fuel rods are just a few examples. Combining theory and computation, Dr. Estep¿s research program is focused on the development of powerful mathematical and statistical methodologies to draw inferences about complex physical systems, predict their behavior, and quantify uncertainties in the results. With a strong interdisciplinary component, Dr. Estep¿s research provides scientists and engineers with the tools to tackle challenges that have significant societal importance.
