DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* Uncertainty quantification and its propagation wit
 hin a system is a major area of focus for much of design research includin
 g process modeling and design optimisation. New methods of uncertainty qua
 ntification based on polynomials and rational methods have arisen over the
  past decade that can be easily applied to a host of problems. These metho
 ds have shown tremendous success in applications ranging from aerodynamics
 \, and structural engineering to the chemical sciences. These methods invo
 lve approximating the system using techniques of interpolation and quadrat
 ures\, and then propagating the error in inputs through the interpolated a
 pproximation. This talk provides an overview of a few of these methods and
  a few aerospace applications.\n\n\n*About the speaker:* Pranay Seshadri i
 s a researcher at the Engineering Design Centre working on topology optimi
 sation\, computational fluid dynamics and uncertainty quantification towar
 ds robust turbomachinery design. He has an MS and BS in aerospace engineer
