Welcome!

Laura Lyman
I am an applied mathematician at Stanford University who researches how uncertainty propagates through models in science and engineering. That means I study how imperfect knowledge of a model input affects what that model outputs, and I rigorously quantify which model outputs are possible or more likely to occur. I am fascinated by this work, and it uses a variety of tools from statistics, linear algebra, probability, and scientific computing. 

Currently, I am serving as the President of the SIAM Student Chapter at Stanford. 
My academic CV and Google Scholar profile give additional information.

If you have any questions, the most efficient way to contact me is through email (lymanla AT stanford DOT edu​). I look forward to hearing from you!​

Teaching

  • In Fall 2021, I am the Primary Instructor for a course I designed entitled Advances in Computing with Uncertainties (CME 270). The official listing is here and the class webpage is here. 
  • In Spring 2022, I am co-teaching Uncertainty Quantification (ME 470) with Professor Gianluca Iaccarino. 
  • I am a recipient of the Stanford Centennial Teaching Award for the School of Engineering. I also received the ICME Departmental Teaching Award.
  • ​The entirety of my teaching reviews can be found here. 

Research

  • Four publications can be found on my Google Scholar or ORCID profile
  • As of October 2021, there is a paper I have submitted to the Journal of Computational Science.
  • Besides these five publications and my dissertation, I have an additional manuscript in progress.

Humor

  • Randomly generate your own mathematics research paper here.
  • Proof by intimidation. Argue why that proof is trivial here. Keep refreshing the page for more ways to baffle your colleagues.
