About us

The Lab is led by Dr Montomoli and works on Uncertainty Modelling with applications to aerospace, aircraft engines including geometrical errors and multiphysics effects. The lab is also working on Additive Manufacturing.

Uncertainty Quantification

One of the most important area of research in our lab is the impact of rare events (Black Swans). Our UQ platform is able to consider such possibility and minimize their impact in engineering applications. Development of several tecniques such as Monte Carlo Methods with Response Surfaces, Probabilistic Collocation Methods, Stochastic Collocation Methods, Adjoint Formulation to study uncertainty in real world problems. Inherently robust models for High Performance Computing. Methods developed: Non-Intrusive Polynomial Chaos methods, SAMBA, Adaptive Kriging, Metamodels+Monte Carlo Simulations, Rare Events modelling in aviation

Design for Additive

The UQLab is working on Robust Design for Additive Manufacturing based on our in house Topology Optimization solver TOffee. The work is carried out in close collaboration with one of the biggest company in AM market.

UQLab technology transfer

The lab is active on technology transfer, having started two spinouts, one in Additive Manufacturing and one in Artificial Intelligence.
