Research Interests:
Flow through porous media, grid generation, numerical simulation of elliptic pde with tensor coefficients, inverse problems from a Bayesian viewpoint (particularly the connections between Tikhonov regularisation and Gaussian random fields), data assimilation and particle filters, construction of spatial priors using various types of spde, decision and control problems in the presence of uncertainty, optimisation of expensive functions.
