About Nicholas Gaul: Dr. Nicholas Gaul has 15+ years of experience working with uncertainty quantification (UQ), reliability analysis, reliability-based design optimization (RBDO), verification and validation (V&V), and surrogate modeling. He has co-authored 20+ papers related to uncertainty quantification, reliability analysis and reliability-based design optimization across a wide range of disciplines. Some of the disciplines he has applied UQ and V&V to are: CFD, multibody dynamics, durability, NVH, vehicle safety analysis, blast survivability analysis, die casting simulations, welding, wind turbine design, drag in shock-particle interactions, terramechanics connected with geospatial for the creation of vehicle speed maps for Next Generation NATO Reference Mobility Model (NRMM). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa in 2014, where his research centered around UQ and RBDO. He is interested in talking with anyone who is doing UQ and V&V, has questions about UQ and V&V, or wants to know how UQ and V&V might benefit them.
