Abstract

This talk explores algorithmic approaches to uncertainty, focusing on models that arise in the design and analysis of algorithms. Two key questions will be addressed: How can optimal policies be efficiently computed in stochastic environments, and how does uncertainty in data impact solution quality? While the research is primarily theoretical, the discussion will highlight potential applications of these models and algorithms in earth-system science.
