Laura Rinaldi

Laura Rinaldi serves as a Research Fellow within the Department of Mathematics at the University of Padua, contributing to the department's research mission in applied and computational mathematics. Her academic position is dedicated to advancing knowledge in specialized areas that combine numerical methods and machine learning.

Her primary research domains are:

• Numerical Analysis: Development of efficient quadrature rules for integration over linear and curved polytopal elements, which is crucial for finite element methods on complex domains.
• Machine Learning: Design and analysis of learning algorithms for operator networks, which aim to approximate mappings between function spaces and have applications in solving partial differential equations and scientific computing.

These research strands reflect a growing interdisciplinary trend where traditional numerical techniques are enhanced by machine learning approaches, potentially leading to more robust and efficient computational tools for engineering and scientific problems.
