1. Multiscale Methods and Uncertainty Quantification
Abstract : In this thesis we consider two great challenges in computer simulations of partial differential equations: multiscale data, varying over multiple scales in space and time, and data uncertainty, due to lack of or inexact measurements.We develop a multiscale method based on a coarse scale correction, using localized fine scale computations.

2. Coarse Graining Monte Carlo Methods for Wireless Channels and Stochastic Differential Equations
Abstract : This thesis consists of two papers considering different aspects of stochastic process modelling and the minimisation of computational cost. In the first paper, we analyse statistical signal properties and develop a Gaussian pro- cess model for scenarios with a moving receiver in a scattering environment, as in Clarke’s model, with the generalisation that noise is introduced through scatterers randomly flip- ping on and off as a function of time.

3. Computational Aspects of Lévy-Driven SPDE Approximations
Abstract : In order to simulate solutions to stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) they must be approximated in space and time. In this thesis such fully discrete approximations are considered, with an emphasis on finite element methods combined with rational semigroup approximations. There are several notions of the error resulting from this. READ MORE

4. Approximating Stochastic Partial Differential Equations with Finite Elements: Computation and Analysis
Abstract : Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) must be approximated in space and time to allow for the simulation of their solutions. In this thesis fully discrete approximations of such equations are considered, with an emphasis on finite element methods combined with rational semigroup approximations. READ MORE

5. Numerical Methods for Darcy Flow Problems with Rough and Uncertain Data
Abstract : We address two computational challenges for numerical simulations of Darcy flow problems: rough and uncertain data. The rapidly varying and possibly high contrast permeability coefficient for the pressure equation in Darcy flow problems generally leads to irregular solutions, which in turn make standard solution techniques perform poorly.
