Navigating the Uncharted Waters of Fluid Mechanics

Fluid mechanics, the scientific study of how liquids move and interact, plays an indispensable role in advancing our scientific understanding of the world around us. It is part of the bedrock upon which many areas of science, from physics and engineering to medicine and even ecology, are built. As it stands, science has already deciphered much of its intricate landscape. Yet, many open problems continue to be a frontier of uncharted knowledge, part of which Manuel Gnann’s Vidi research aims to explore.

[STAT/AP] Bernhard Stankewitz: Early stopping for iterative estimation procedures

Increasingly high-dimensional data sets require that estimation methods do not only satisfy statistical guarantees but also remain computationally feasible. In modern statistics and machine learning early stopping of algorithms has been identified as one of the tools to address such issues. In this context, we present recent results both on the implicit regularization effect of early stopping and the potential of data driven early stopping rules to perform adaptive estimation in a sequential, computationally efficient manner.

Research Groups

Analysis

We focus on Functional Analysis and Operator Theory with applications to the study of (partial) differential equations, both deterministic and non-deterministic.

Applied Mathematics Stories

Inverse modelling – for improved medical imaging and much more

Hanne Kekkonen specialises in the mathematics used to solve inverse problems. Applications include medical imaging, climate change, the evolution of competing languages, materials science and many more.

Neural networks put the afterburners on skin recovery models

First aid for burn injuries is to cool the area for twenty minutes with lukewarm running water. Math can play an important role in choosing the subsequent, often more intensive, treatment aimed at reducing the probability of permanent damage or even disabilities. But these mathematical models for skin recovery must be fast. By applying neural networks, Marianne Schaaphok increased their speed by more than a million times.

Aad van der Vaart: academic globetrotter touches down in Delft

The academic globetrotter Aad van der Vaart will be working in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science to raise the concept of causality – research into cause and effect – to a higher level.

Why do you need Mathematics to charge your phone?

Understanding noise – from quantum fluctuations to climate models

Mark Veraar researches mathematical models to reduce the disruptive influence of noise on all kinds of processes.

Modelling a flexible electricity system

Using numerical analysis, Marieke Kootte is developing a model to link high-voltage and low-voltage distribution networks.

A fresh perspective on potato growth

Requiring less water and less time to grow than rice, corn or wheat, potatoes may well be the answer to the growing worldwide demand for food. But what are the key factors that determine a successful potato harvest? Asked to provide a fresh perspective, Neil Budko develops numerical methods for the analysis of carefully controlled potato growth experiments.

A bit of math to constrain epidemics

Most people like to keep both mathematics and epidemics at a distance. But a little bit of the former can do wonders in limiting the latter. Supervised by professor Kees Vuik, two high school students modelled a recent outbreak of cholera in Ghana. He also has a bachelor student investigating the new corona virus.
