DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Uncertainty quantification and its pro
 pagation within a system is a major area of focus 
 for much of design research including process mode
 ling and design optimisation. New methods of uncer
 tainty quantification based on polynomials and rat
 ional methods have arisen over the past decade tha
 t can be easily applied to a host of problems. The
 se methods have shown tremendous success in applic
 ations ranging from aerodynamics\, and structural 
 engineering to the chemical sciences. These method
 s involve approximating the system using technique
 s of interpolation and quadratures\, and then prop
 agating the error in inputs through the interpolat
 ed approximation. This talk provides an overview o
 f a few of these methods and a few aerospace appli
 cations.\n\n\n*About the speaker:* Pranay Seshadri
  is a researcher at the Engineering Design Centre 
 working on topology optimisation\, computational f
 luid dynamics and uncertainty quantification towar
 ds robust turbomachinery design. He has an MS and 
 BS in aerospace engineering.
