Prof. Piotr Gwiazda Wins Prestigious MAESTRO Grant!
The National Science Centre has awarded MAESTRO grants to experienced researchers. Seven applications received funding, including the research project of Prof. Dr. hab. Piotr Andrzej Gwiazda, which will be carried out at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling at the University of Warsaw.
The research project titled “Research Challenges of Partial Differential Equations Inspired by State-of-the-Art Statistical and Machine Learning Algorithms” has been granted NCN funding of 2,920,200 PLN, ranking third on the list in the group of exact and technical sciences.
A key advantage of the project is its innovative application and development of partial differential equation (PDE) techniques, well-integrated with statistical methods. This combination will enable significant advancements in optimization, sampling, inference, and machine learning. On one hand, statistical approaches such as Bayesian inference play a crucial role in identifying PDE parameters; on the other hand, emerging gradient flow methods show great potential in developing sampling algorithms. The research objectives of the project focus on four problems: parameter identification, sampling methods, parameter stability, and extended graphons.
MAESTRO is a competition organized by the National Science Centre for research projects led by experienced scientists, aiming to conduct pioneering scientific studies, including interdisciplinary research, that are significant for scientific progress, go beyond the current state of knowledge, and may result in scientific breakthroughs.
In the sixteenth edition of the MAESTRO competition, NCN received 69 applications. Seven projects received funding: one in the humanities, social sciences, and arts group, two in the life sciences group, and four in the exact and technical sciences group. The total value of the funded applications exceeds 29.7 million PLN.
