A multitude of physical phenomena are governed by partial differential equations, and the need to solve these equations quickly and reliably arises in both research and industry. Although state-of-the-art numerical discretisation methods are widely used, significant challenges such as sensitivity to noisy data, high computational cost, and the complexity of mesh generation remain. Machine learning has achieved remarkable success in various domains, but training deep neural networks often requires substantial amounts of data, which are often scarce or expensive to generate for real-world physical systems. Physics-informed machine learning offers a promising alternative by embedding physical laws into the learning process, thereby potentially reducing data requirements. In this thesis, we aim to enhance physics-informed machine learning methods by improving their trainability, enhancing robustness, and incorporating uncertainty quantification.
