Contributions

Soize is an expert in uncertainty quantification and computational mechanics, known for the development of several numerical methods and probabilistic methodologies to deal with uncertainties in computational science and engineering, standing out for two pioneering methods: the nonparametric probabilistic approach,^[1] to take into account model uncertainties in computational physical models, and, more recently, the probabilistic learning on manifolds (PLoM)^[2] for statistical learning within small reduced datasets.
