Uncertainty Quantification and Management Study Group 13-15 December

Tue, 22 Aug 2017 13:30:21 GMT

The third Uncertainty Quantification and Mangagement Study Group with Industry will take place at Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling from 13-15 December 2017.

The event is supported by the Uncertainty Quantification and Management in High Value Manufacturing special interest group of the Knowledge Transfer Network and by the School of Engineering at Warwick.

Call for papers-Minisymposium on uncertainty modelling in porous media

Mon, 31 Oct 2016 15:15:48 GMT

We would like to invite you to submit a contribution for our Minisymposium on “Uncertainty Quantification and Multiple Scale Methods for Porous Media” to be held during the 9th International Conference on Porous Media in Rotterdam, Netherlands, May 8-11, 2017.

The papers presented at the session will be invited to submit in an extended version of the contribution for consideration of publication in a special issue of the journal of Transport in Porous Media.

WCPM Seminar 2015/2016 survey results

Tue, 04 Aug 2015 16:41:40 GMT

Mark the date: Tuesdays, 4-5pm in term time: WCPM seminar in D202!

The survey we started after the end of last term about the future of the WCPM seminar yielded a clear preference for the 4-5pm slot on Tuesdays (more than 2/3 of respondents found it convenient, only 2 respondents would be unavailable, and it does not seem to clash with any other periodic events). Thank you all for your time to fill out that survey.

WCPM move-in day: Engineering Extension

Thu, 16 Jul 2015 16:00:24 GMT

The Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling has finally moved to its proper home: The D-Block extension of the Engineering building. Please do come by and have a look around our new digs, they're on the second floor of Engineering, off the corridor connecting towards the science concourse (A block). Just skip up the stairs (accessible entrance available), enter through the door and turn to your left.

WCPM Seminar 2015/2016 - survey

Fri, 19 Jun 2015 12:51:07 GMT

The WCPM seminar will soon start its summer break, but it will definitely be back in October – in our own seminar room in the Engineering extension. This will give us a litte more flexibility and we would greatly appreciate your input on how to improve our seminar. The most interesting question would be the time clashes with other regular events. We've created a little anonymous survey [EDIT: Survey is closed, see new post], and we would be very grateful if you could spend a couple of minutes to fill it out or send us an e-mail at [email]wcpm.contact@warwick.ac.uk[/email].

Workshop: Predictive Multiscale Materials Modelling

Tue, 02 Jun 2015 16:06:38 GMT

The multiscale/multiphysics nature of materials gives rise to extremely challenging and unique mathematical and algorithmic problems currently prohibiting uncertainty quantification and predictive materials modelling. For example, information loss during coarse graining; high-dimensionality and scalability of stochastic multiscale simulations and UQ; learning in models with a high dimensional parameter space; rare events; transferability of potentials in electronic structure, atomistic and molecular simulations. Materials of interest include, but are not limited to, metallic alloys, ceramics, polymers and composites, semiconductors, biological and geological media and meta-materials. The ability to predict the properties of these materials with confidence is paramount to a number of sectors. Currently there is a huge gap between state-of-the-art mathematical methods and the analysis tools routinely used by the materials community.

This activity is a partnership of the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling, the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI), the Turing Gateway to Mathematics and the Knowledge Transfer Network.

The academic organisers include Prof. Nicholas Zabaras (University of Warwick) and Markos Katsoulakis (University of Massachusetts at Amherst). For further details please contact Jane Leeks at the TGM.

Workshop: Big Data and Predictive Computational Modelling

Tue, 09 Dec 2014 13:51:43 GMT

Prof. Nicholas Zabaras is organising a workshop on Big Data and Predictive Computational Modelling, together with Prof. Mark Girolami (Warwick Statistics) and Prof. Phaedon-Stelios Koutsourelakis (TU Munich), to take place in the Institute for Advanced study at the Technical University Munich from 18-20th May 2015. The workshop will include plenary talks from internationally-renowned researchers in the areas of Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) and Computational Statistics/Machine Learning. In line with the goals of the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling, the emphasis of the meeting is on identifying synergies and common themes for these communities and proposing innovative research directions that can accelerate the impact of uncertainty modeling in engineering and the sciences as well as demonstrate the capabilities of computational uncertainty quantification methods and tools in various problems.
