Christian Soize (October 10, 1948) is a French engineer and applied mathematician known for his contributions in computational mechanics and uncertainty quantification. He is an Emeritus Professor at the Laboratoire Modélisation et Simulation Multi Echelle at Gustave Eiffel University.
Contributions
Soize is an expert in uncertainty quantification and computational mechanics, known for the development of several numerical methods and probabilistic methodologies to deal with uncertainties in computational science and engineering, standing out for two pioneering methods: the nonparametric probabilistic approach,{{Cite journal|last=Soize|first=C.|date=2000-07-01|title=A nonparametric model of random uncertainties for reduced matrix models in structural dynamics|url=https://hal-upec-upem.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00686293/file/publi-2000-PEM-15_277-294-soize-preprint.pdf|journal=Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics|language=en|volume=15|issue=3|pages=277–294|doi=10.1016/S0266-8920(99)00028-4|issn=0266-8920}} to take into account model uncertainties in computational physical models, and, more recently, the probabilistic learning on manifolds (PLoM){{Cite journal|last1=Soize|first1=C.|last2=Ghanem|first2=R.|date=2016-09-15|title=Data-driven probability concentration and sampling on manifold|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021999116301899|journal=Journal of Computational Physics|language=en|volume=321|pages=242–258|doi=10.1016/j.jcp.2016.05.044|issn=0021-9991|arxiv=1603.02657|bibcode=2016JCoPh.321..242S |s2cid=7543400 }} for statistical learning within small reduced datasets.
