PhD position summary/title: PhD position Computational aspects of Bayesian inverse problems with non-Gaussian priors
In applications such as image processing and materials science, we wish to understand a complex system from noisy observations. This is the challenging setting of inverse problems. The PhD project concerns employing a Bayesian approach to such inverse problems with general, non-Gaussian priors, with the aim of preserving structure available in the information. Examples of non-Gaussian priors are Besov priors which allow function discontinuities (similar in spirit to the TV regularization used in image processing). Additional challenges may be how to deal with situations where the likelihood is not differentiable or the likelihood computation is of black-box type and/or has no gradient information available.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position Analysis of Socio-technical Tipping Points in Integrated Modelling for Climate Policy
Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) shape the current discussion on the global response to climate change by supporting policymakers with their long-term projections of natural-human systems evolution. Although ever-improving, these models still overlook important reinforcement feedback loops of socio-technical processes relevant to climate policies. Some of these loops are responsible for socio-technical lock-ins, and others for an accelerated transition to new states of the economy. With the global ambition of becoming carbon neutral in a few decades and the looming impacts of climate change, it is essential to recognize how these non-linear processes could quickly amplify or dampen the impact of different climate mitigation actions. You will develop a conceptual and computational framework for a novel IAM that captures socio-technical tipping points at the macro-regional scale, redefining the quest for the most feasible, equitable, effective, and disruptive near-term climate mitigation policies.
