Aretha Teckentrup

Aretha Leonore Teckentrup is a British mathematician, data scientist, and numerical analyst known for her research on uncertainty quantification and on multilevel Monte Carlo methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations.[1] She is a lecturer in the mathematics of data science at the University of Edinburgh.[2]

Education and career

Teckentrup was a student in mathematics at the University of Bath beginning in 2005. She earned a master's degree there in 2009, and completed her PhD in 2013.[2] Her dissertation, Multilevel Monte Carlo methods and Uncertainty Quantification, was supervised by Robert Scheichl.[3]

After postdoctoral research with Max Gunzburger at Florida State University from 2013 to 2014 and with Andrew M. Stuart at the University of Warwick from 2014 to 2016, she became a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh in 2016.[2]

Recognition

Teckentrup was a second-place winner of the Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis in 2017.[4] In 2018 she became the inaugural winner of the SIAG/Uncertainty Quantification Early Career Prize of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Activity Group on Uncertainty Quantification.[5] She was one of the 2021 winners of the Whitehead Prize of the London Mathematical Society.[1]
