Benjamin Sanderse is head of the Scientific Computing group of Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the Netherlands national research institute for mathematics and computer science in Amsterdam.

Trained as aerospace engineer and with a doctorate in numerical mathematics, I’m passionate about solving complex problems at the interface between top-level scientific research and challenging real-life applications.

I have extensive experience in (computational) fluid dynamics, differential equations, and uncertainty quantification from working in academia, at research institutes and in industry. My current interest lies in the smart integration of data with physical models, through development of techniques such as reduced order models, Bayesian calibration, (neural) closure models, and scientific machine learning algorithms.
