| 151-0104-00L | Uncertainty Quantification for Engineering & Life Sciences  Does not take place this semester. Number of participants limited to 60. | 4 credits | 3G | P. Koumoutsakos | |
| Abstract | Quantification of uncertainties in computational models pertaining to applications in engineering and life sciences. Exploitation of massively available data to develop computational models with quantifiable predictive capabilities. Applications of Uncertainty Quantification and Propagation to problems in mechanics, control, systems and cell biology. | ||||
| Learning objective | The course will teach fundamental concept of Uncertainty Quantification and Propagation (UQ+P) for computational models of systems in Engineering and Life Sciences. Emphasis will be placed on practical and computational aspects of UQ+P including the implementation of relevant algorithms in multicore architectures. | ||||
| Content | Topics that will be covered include: Uncertainty quantification under parametric and non-parametric modelling uncertainty, Bayesian inference with model class assessment, Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation, prior and posterior reliability analysis. | ||||
| Lecture notes | The class will be largely based on the book: Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial by Devinderjit Sivia as well as on class notes and related literature that will be distributed in class. | ||||
| Literature | 1. Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial by Devinderjit Sivia 2. Probability Theory: The Logic of Science by E. T. Jaynes 3. Class Notes | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Fundamentals of Probability, Fundamentals of Computational Modeling | ||||
