SFU science professor Don Estep named Canada Research Chair for work in uncertainty quantification

By: Karissa Ketter, News Writer  SFU professor Don Estep has been studying complex systems, such as weather and climate systems, using probability methods and mathematical models. For his research, he has been selected as a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC). In an email interview with The Peak, Estep explained that he focuses on “developing statistics and probability methods for determining properties of complex systems that cannot be directly observed.”  Estep added that systems such as “the impact of hurricanes on coasts, pollution flow in porous media, and radiation damage in uranium fuel rods are just a few examples” of…
