Alessandra Vizzaccaro
Alessandra obtained her PhD in 2021 at Imperial College London, sponsored by Rolls Royce PLC, in computational nonlinear dynamics, with focus on vibration in aircraft engines. Later, she joined the University of Bristol as a Research Associate in Engineering Mathematics under the DigiTwin programme grant, where she developed new experimental techniques for digital twins. She is now a Research Fellow in the Data Centric Engineering group at the University of Exeter, working with Prof. Tim Dodwell on probabilistic model order reduction.
Her research lives at the intersection between applied mathematics and engineering and aims at developing novel tools to address real-world industrial challenges. Her major contribution is in the field of dimensionality reduction of large-scale numerical models, with application ranging from aerospace structures to MEMS devices. In her current role, she is working on novel statistical techniques for building low order probabilistic models from high dimensional data.
