Research Interests

My research focuses on solvers for large-scale PDE systems, on uncertainty quantification, and scientific computing and scientific machine learning. In particular, I work on Bayesian inverse problems, extreme event probability estimation, PDE-constrained optimization and optimization under uncertainty.

Most of my research is driven by societally important applications in climate (sea and land ice, tsunamis), in plasma physics (fusion) and in computational earth science (mantle flow and plate tectonics).
