Nikolaj Takata Mücke
Postdoc · Delft University of Technology
I am a postdoc at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, working at the intersection of scientific computing and deep learning. My research focuses on generative models, uncertainty quantification, data assimilation, physics-consistent machine learning, and fluid dynamics.
More broadly, I am interested in numerical methods and surrogate modelling for partial differential equations and their applications in computational science and engineering — particularly the development of generative and reduced order models for parameterized PDEs, and applying these to efficient, real-time solving of inverse problems and data assimilation with uncertainty quantification in physics applications.

Experience
Postdoc
I am working as a postdoc in the UrbanAIR project. The goal of the project is to develop a framework for urban air quality and heat dynamics forecasting. My role is specifically focused on the development of data assimilation and uncertainty quantification methods using deep learning techniques.
Postdoc
Together with Benjamin Sanderse, I developed generative models for physics applications. The aim was to perform probabilistic forecasting and posterior sampling that adhere to the underlying laws of physics.
AI Lead
I was the lead developer of the Spatialise AI platform, SOCMO. My role included the development of MLOps pipelines. This covered data science aspects such as model training, testing, and hyperparameter tuning. Furthermore, I was responsible for the ML engineering aspects such as model deployment, monitoring, and scaling.
PhD Candidate
My PhD project dealt with deep learning for data assimilation and inverse problems in physics applications. The aim was to perform real-time data assimilation with uncertainty quantification using deep learning techniques. My supervisors were Cornelis Oosterlee and Sander Bohté.
Research Assistant
The research project dealt with low noise supercontinuum sources for ultra-high resolution 800nm optical coherence tomography for glaucoma diagnosis. I was working on GPU acceleration of a C++ implementation of the 4th order Runge-Kutta Interaction Picture method to solve the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger Equation as well as uncertainty quantification of the input sources.
Student Assistant
My work included programming and mathematical modelling of various elements within the wind energy sector. Examples are time series models for weather with the goal of predicting production time of a wind turbine farm and analyzing buckling capacity of soil supported structures using partial differential equations and optimization techniques.
Science Communicator
Experimentarium is a science museum, mostly for children and young adults. My job consisted of developing and performing science shows and experiments in front of large crowds and make complicated phenomena understandable and comprehensible for the layman and school classes.
