Description
Leader of the group Scientific Computing: Daan Crommelin.
The SC groups 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, finance and biology. 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, data assimilation, stochastic multiscale modeling and risk assessment. 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.

New mathematical models for wind turbine load calculations
New mathematical models developed by PhD student Laurent van den Bos can help to determine the best possible way to establish new wind farms. His thesis received the predicate Cum Laude.
Weather forecast techniques help find the perfect oil drill
A new way of processing data from rock measurements could lead to a much more efficient oil extraction. During her PhD research, Sangeetika Ruchi developed a method to infer the most probable rock properties, based on only a few indirect measurements.
Reality check for financial risk assessment tool concludes CWI-led project
One of the most promising tools for assessing financial risks proves to hold up after a thorough mathematical gauging. CWI researcher Ki Wai Chau developed a numerical analysis of complex algorithms that are developed to support financial risk management. His method provides a reality check for those algorithms, paving the way for future applications.
Smart mobility start-up Skialabs launched by CWI researchers
Traffic flows in cities could be managed much more efficiently thanks to cutting-edge technology pioneered by the new start-up Skialabs. By using huge dataflows collected in cities, the Skialabs platform provides a real-time view on the mobility flows in the city. This allows creating cost-effective and sustainable mobility services that react instantly to the demands of the end-users.
