Kuo, Frances

Dr. Frances Y. Kuo is a renowned mathematician specializing in quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, numerical integration, and uncertainty quantification. She is a professor at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, and holds a position at the Australian National University (ANU). Her research focuses on the development and analysis of efficient algorithms for high-dimensional integration, approximation, and the application of these methods to problems in science and engineering, such as elliptic PDEs with random coefficients, random field generation, and lattice-based methods for numerical analysis. Dr. Kuo has made significant contributions to the theory and practice of QMC methods, including the development of lattice rules, component-by-component algorithms, and the analysis of error bounds for high-dimensional integration. She is also known for her work on the equivalence between Sobolev spaces and ANOVA spaces, and for her collaborative efforts in advancing the field of numerical analysis through both theoretical and applied research.
