Research summary
Modern societies are affected in myriad ways by the behaviours of complex physical systems, such as hurricanes on coastlines, pollution flows into groundwater, and radiation damage from uranium fuel rods.
Dr. Donald Estep, Canada Research Chair in Computational Probability and Uncertainty Quantification, is developing powerful mathematical and statistical methods to better understand these complex physical
systems, predict their behaviours, and quantify uncertainties in the results. Ultimately, Estep and his research team hope to provide scientists and engineers with the tools to tackle future challenges that have significant importance to society.
