In the latest episode of the "Made in Science" podcast from the University of Stuttgart, Andrea Barth discusses the unique interdisciplinarity within the SimTech Excellence Cluster. Under the motto "Interdisciplinarity is lived here more than elsewhere," she provides insights into how collaboration across disciplines occurs within the cluster and the benefits of this approach.
Andrea Barth, Principal Investigator in the SimTech Excellence Cluster, leads the research group "Computational Methods for Uncertainty Quantification" at the Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulations. In her conversation with podcast host Wolfgang Holtkamp, Senior Advisor International Affairs, she shares how to find a doctoral advisor, what she learned from her time as a doctoral student, and why it is wise to have a Plan B in life.
Andrea Barth conducts research in the field of stochastic partial differential equations. Her research group develops numerical methods to solve such equations, accounting for uncertainties and chaotic behavior in mathematical models. These methods are applied in various natural and engineering sciences.
All podcast conversations are conducted in English and offer fascinating insights into the careers and personalities of guests who have studied or worked at the University of Stuttgart.
