Data-driven Modeling and Probabilistic Scientific Computing

1 Course Unit

We will revisit classical scientific computing from a statistical learning viewpoint. In this new computing paradigm, differential equations, conservation laws, and data act as complementary agents in a predictive modeling pipeline. This course aims explore the potential of modern machine learning as a unifying computational tool that enables learning models from experimental data, inferring solutions to differential equations, blending information from a hierarchy of models, quantifying uncertainty in computations , and efficiently optimizing complex engineering systems. Prerequisite: Programming in Python and MATLAB Not Offered Every Year 1 Course Unit
