Professor Catherine E. Powell



I am a Professor in Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester (previously UMIST). I conduct research at the interface of numerical analysis and uncertainty quantification (UQ) and am a member of the Department's Numerical Analysis and UQ research groups. I am currently acting as the Department's Deputy Director of Research.


I am an associate editor for the the SIAM journal on Numerical Analysis. I am currently also serving as President of the SIAM UKIE Section and am a Leadership Team member for the EPSRC-funded ProbAI Hub.


Recent EPSRC-funded projects: ProbAI - A Hub for the Mathematical Foundations of AI , Multilevel Intrusive UQ Methods and Numerical analysis of adaptive UQ algorithms for PDEs with random inputs.
