Data Assimilation, KU Leuven, Belgium
The research unit NUMA, Department of Computer Science, KU Leuven,
invites applications for a full-time faculty position. The research unit
covers many aspects of numerics, including approximation theory,
numerical integration, numerical (multi)linear algebra, numerical PDEs,
uncertainty quantification, optimization and control, discrete
optimization and scheduling, network problems, data science, HPC and
applied numerical mathematics.
The recent surge in advanced techniques for data acquisition gives rise
to computational tasks of a complexity far beyond numerical simulation
as integrating measurement data in complex models requires specific
numerical algorithms. In the simplest setting, finding the "best" model
parameters given some measurement data is an optimization problem.
However, demands of practical applications often go far beyond this
optimization: one can, for instance, also be interested in quantifying
the uncertainty on the resulting optimum, the remaining modeling error
with respect to the physical system, or the evolution of the model as a
function of time (if data is continuously gathered).
The new faculty position aims to strengthen NUMA's position in
scientific computing towards a data rich environment. The successful
candidate is expected to develop a research program in inverse problems
and data assimilation, ensure high-quality education within the area of
mathematical engineering, and be prepared to provide scientific, social
and administrative services. For further details, contact information
