Sebastian Brandstäter participates at UNCECOMP 2025

We are proud to have contributed to the 6th International Conference on Uncertainty Quantification in Computational Science and Engineering (UNCECOMP 2025), held on the island of Rhodes, Greece.

IMCS researcher Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Brandstäter presented our latest research in a talk entitled “Probabilistic Virtual Sensing with Gaussian Processes and Physics-Based Models”. The presentation explored how Gaussian process regression can be combined with advanced physics-based models to create probabilistic virtual sensors. These sensors provide an efficient means to estimate hidden quantities in real systems based on measurement data, while rigorously accounting for uncertainty—a key step towards building trustworthy digital twins.

In addition to his presentation, Sebastian co-organized a minisymposium on:

“Methodological Developments and Applications of Global Sensitivity Analysis in Science and Engineering”

This minisymposium brought together researchers from both academia and industry, highlighting recent advances in global sensitivity analysis and its essential role in improving the interpretability and robustness of computational models. A highly engaged audience contributed to vibrant discussions, making the session a true highlight of the conference. The session was organized in collaboration with Gian Marco Melito (Graz University of Technology, Austria), Friederike Schäfer (Inria, France), and Wouter Huberts (Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands).
