This ambitious project, funded by EPSRC, combines mathematical modeling, statistical inference, and scientific computing in order to develop rigorous and efficient uncertainty quantification tools, which will be targeted at mathematical models and data sets arising from the future cities arena, focusing on crime, security and resilience.
The project lies at the interface between applied mathematics, statistics, and high performance computing. Mathematics, the language of science, is used to model natural and technological systems. Statistics helps us to make sense of data. By developing algorithms and implementing them on high performance computers, notably using many-core processors such as graphical processing units (GPUs), we make these ideas concrete.
