Görlitz, Saxony, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDamar Wicaksono is a postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience applying and developing uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods for physics-based simulation, especially in nuclear engineering contexts from neutronics to thermal-hydraulics. He has helped advance UQ tooling and community building as a UQLab developer and co-founder of UQWorld, bridging software development, statistics, and domain science to make best practices accessible to practitioners. Comfortable prototyping in R and Python and implementing in MATLAB, he focuses on surrogate modeling, Bayesian calibration, sensitivity and reliability analyses for computationally expensive codes. His work combines rigorous statistical methodology with hands-on validation against plant and experimental data, and he has translated research into practical tools used by safety organizations. Based in Görlitz and previously affiliated with ETH Zurich and PSI, he brings both academic depth (PhD, EPFL) and applied experience in safety-critical simulation environments.
