Philippe von Wurstemberger
Postdoctoral Researcher — CUHK-SZ
I hold a PhD in Mathematics from ETH Zurich and am a postdoctoral researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. My research focuses on the mathematical theory of deep learning and on learning-based numerical methods. I am currently particularly interested in the application of diffusion models in the approximation of PDEs.
Research interests Scientific Machine Learning · Diffusion Models · High-dimensional Approximation · Numerical Methods for PDEs · Deep learning theory
