Tülin Kaman, Prof. Dr.

Tülin Kaman is the Verena Meyer Visiting Professor, supported by the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Informatics (WWF),  in the Department of Informatics (IFI) at the University of Zurich (UZH) and an affiliated associate professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas (US). She joined the IFI as an academic guest during her Collegium Helveticum Senior Fellowship at the Swiss Institute for Advanced Study at ETH Zurich in 2024. 

She received her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Stony Brook University in New York (US), winning the Woo Jong Kim Dissertation Award in 2012. She was a Paul Scherrer Institute Fellow, a postdoctoral researcher, and a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, and the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Zurich. At the University of Arkansas (UofA), she established the Computational and Applied Mathematics Group as the Lawrence Jesser Toll Jr. Endowed Chair. She served as a faculty advisor for the UofA Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and UofA Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Student Chapter. She is currently a member of the AWM Membership & Community Portfolio Committee.

Her research focuses on modeling and simulations in fluids, numerical methods for partial differential equations, numerical algorithms in parallel scientific computing, and uncertainty quantification. The main goal of her research is to understand the dynamics of turbulence due to hydrodynamic instabilities and quantifying uncertainties in model and input parameters using high-performance computing systems efficiently. During her senior fellowship at the Collegium Helveticum, she started performing convergence studies to assess the impact of space and temporal resolutions on numerical weather predictions, using the theory of sensitivity analysis.
