Biography

Oliver Tse is an Associate Professor leading the Calculus Variations Optimal Control group at the Centre for Analysis, Scientific Computing and Applications (CASA) at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His expertise includes modeling and simulation, numerical optimization, mathematical modeling, nonlinear dynamics, stability analysis, and parameter estimation in optimal control. His research interests encompass nonlinear diffusion systems, multiscale analysis, variational evolutions, kinetic equations, and optimal control of partial differential equations (PDEs). He focuses on developing adjoint-based methods and consensus-based techniques for interacting particle systems, which have applications in global optimization and disease dynamics. Oliver is currently exploring the connections between optimal transport, generalized gradient flows, and probabilistic methods for studying PDEs. He aims to develop new analytical tools that reveal deep connections in mathematics, inspired by the belief that mathematics transcends geographic and cultural boundaries.
