Description
Leader of the group Scientific Computing: Benjamin Sanderse.
The Scientific Computing group at CWI develops efficient mathematical methods to simulate and predict real-world phenomena with inherent uncertainties. Such uncertainties arise from e.g. uncertain model parameters, chaotic dynamics or intrinsic randomness, and can have major impact on model outputs and predictions. Our work is targeted in particular at applications in climate, energy, and finance. In these vital areas, the ability to assess uncertainties and their impact on model predictions is of paramount importance. Expertise in the SC group includes uncertainty quantification, reduced order modeling, data assimilation, and stochastic multiscale modeling. The availability of data to inform and improve simulations and predictions, for example through learning and data-driven modeling, plays an important role in our research.
The SC group organizes the seminar on Machine Learning and Uncertainty Quantification in Scientific Computing.

New Shell-CWI project to improve CO2 transport simulations
To help reduce global warming, transport of CO2 for underground storing should be optimized. CWI will develop new mathematical modelling techniques to improve this, in a new research project in collaboration with Shell.
Researchers find substantial uncertainties in Covid-19 pandemic simulations
Computer modelling to forecast Covid-19 mortality contains significant uncertainty in its predictions, according to an international study led by researchers at UCL and CWI. Their article was published in Nature Computational Science on 22 February.
Multiple simulations best for Covid-19 predictions
Computer modelling used to forecast Covid-19 mortality contains significant uncertainty in its predictions, according to a new study led by researchers at UCL and CWI in the Netherlands. This was described in a news item in Nature on 13 November.
Benjamin Sanderse wins Vidi grant to study complex fluid flows
To predict the output of a wind farm, the weather or the blood flow through a heart valve, accurate fluid flow models are needed. CWI researcher Benjamin Sanderse received a Vidi grant from NWO to develop a new generation of such models, based on discrete mathematics.
