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 PhD in Numerical Analysis from the Department of Mathematics at The University of Manchester supervisored 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.

I have four years experience in research focused roles at the multi-national engineering company Thales UK.

Research Interests

  • Approximation and analysis of parametric PDE problems.
  • Sparse grid approximation and related techniques.
  • A posteriori error estimation and adaptive approximation of parametric PDEs.
  • In particular, the above in the context of parabolic PDE problems.
  • Uncertainty quantification.

This project is maintained by benmkent. It is a built from the Swiss Jekyll theme.
