Benjamin M. Kent

I am currently a postdoc at Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche “E. Magenes” (IMATI) working with Lorenzo Tamellini.

I attained a PhD in Numerical Analysis from the Department of Mathematics at The University of Manchester. I was supervised by Professor Catherine Powell and Professor David Silvester. It was an iCASE sponsored project with IBM Research UK.

I attained a First-Class Honours BSc in Mathematics and Physics BSc at the University of Warwick.

Before my PhD I spent four years in industrial research at the multi-national engineering company Thales UK.

Research Interests

  • Surrogate modelling for uncertainty quantification.
  • Global polynomial approximation methods including error estimation and adaptive methods.
  • Multi-fidelity approximation in the context of uncertainty quantification.
