Bianca Champenois
Hello! My name is Bianca. I am a
PhD candidate at MIT in the joint Mechanical Engineering and Computational Science/Engineering program. I work with Professor Sapsis in the SAND Lab (Stochastic Analysis and Nonlinear Dynamics) on new methods to model
ocean and atmospheric processes. I am curious about all things related to machine learning, reduced-order modeling, uncertainty quantification, Bayesian inference, fluid dynamics, numerical methods, and extreme events. In my free time, I like to fix bikes and make comics. Here is my resume.
I am running the NYC marathon for the Women's Prison Association. Check out my fundraising page :)
