Characterizing uncertainties in computer models for complex systems

Fariba Fahroo of the Defense Sciences Office discusses just how pivotal mathematics can be for, in her words, “keeping our models honest.” 

By characterizing the uncertainties inherent in the computer models and algorithms we use to better understand complex phenomena, such as the flow of air over aircraft surfaces and through high-performance engines, as well as to design, engineer, and control today’s ever more complicated civilian and military systems, Fahroo aims to develop modeling frameworks by which these systems can be built and deployed with more confidence and insight than ever into their strengths and vulnerabilities.
