Optimal Experimental design in an Ensemble Kalman filtering setting

02 June 2026

Host Faculty: Engineering

General Subject Area: Mathematics/Statistics

Project Level: Master's

HOW TO APPLY

Optimal Experimental design is the task of optimally allocating resources to make data (yet to be collected under this design setup) as valuable as possible. In this project you'll work on sequential Bayesian inference using the Ensemble Kalman filter and derive a way of computationally optimise the design using ideas from optimal control.

 

Supervisors

Primary Supervisor: Philipp Wacker

 
Key qualifications and skills

Solid background in maths (differential equations, Lagrangian multipliers, optimisation) as well as stats (Bayesian inference), and coding (optimally Python)

 
Does the project come with funding

No - Student must be self-funded

 

Final date for receiving applications

Ongoing
