The STOCHASTICA SNIP seminar will be held online every two weeks starting on January 14. Talks of 30-45 minutes will be followed by 15-30 minutes of open discussion. Initially, seminars will be focused on introducing new problems and applications, to stimulate further discussions and ideas within individual working groups.  

The third seminar will be given by Prof Annika Lang, Chalmers University of Technology & University of Gothenburg, and chaired by Prof Gabriel Lord (Leader, Working Group 4).

Random fields and stochastic partial differential equations on hypersurfaces

Looking around us, many surfaces including the Earth are no plain Euclidean domains but special cases of Riemannian manifolds.
Uncertain physical phenomena on these surfaces can for example be described by random fields and stochastic partial differential equations. In this talk, I will introduce these stochastic quantities on hypersurfaces. Furthermore, I will discuss their efficient simulation and show how the obtained samples can be used to generate random shapes and time-evolving stochastic manifolds.
