Juliane Mai
Assisant Research Professor, 2019
Previously: PDF Student, 2016
I received my diploma in Business Mathematics (2005) and my M. Sc. in Applied Mathematics (2007) both in Leipzig, Germany. My PhD (until 2011) as well as a first PostDoc (until 2016) I spend at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental research (UFZ) in Leipzig, Germany. My research is in parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty analysis of complex models. I am focusing on the application of derivative-free optimization methods for model calibration as well as the usage of sensitivity information during calibration and model development. Currently, I am working on uncertainty estimation and data assimilation. In the course of my research I applied these methods in different fields like production planning, biomechanical systems, cellular processes, Systems Biology, as well as hydrologic and land-surface models. Further, I am strongly interested in the development of robust and widely applicable computer codes. I have experience in managing large computer codes/ projects, like the hydrologic model mHM and a Fortran library.
