Description

The research program aims to develop advanced methodologies at the interface between Numerical Analysis and Machine Learning, with a focus on physics-informed machine learning. The goal is to design learning strategies that embed the structure of governing physical laws, enabling robust inference even when data are scarce or uncertain. The project will also explore surrogate modeling approaches for the rapid approximation of solutions to complex differential problems. These models will serve as efficient and physically consistent proxies for traditional solvers, supporting tasks such as forward simulations, uncertainty quantification, and data assimilation. Project funded by Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca in the context of FIS 2, SYNERGIZE, code FIS-2023-02228, CUP D53C24005440001.
