Description
Uncertainty quantification is key for achieving validated predictive computations in a wide range of scientific and engineering applications. The field relies on a broad range of mathematics and statistics groundwork, with associated algorithmic and computational development. This conference strives to bring together an interdisciplinary mix of mathematicians, statisticians, scientists, and engineers with an interest in development and implementation of uncertainty quantification methods. The goal of the meeting is to provide a forum for the sharing of ideas, and to enhance communication among this diverse group of technical experts, thereby contributing to future advances in the field.
