I had the pleasure of attending this year’s ASME Verification and Validation Symposium last month. Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification is an ongoing focus area for me, so in addition to the Symposium, I attended the 2 day course taught by Bill Oberkampf and Chris Roy, authors of the book, Verification and Validation for Scientific Computing. The course gave me a deeper understanding of the techniques and issues that we need to address to ensure that our simulations are accurate and reliable. I look forward to bringing what I’ve learned to my work leading the Applied Research Group.
