24-26 June 2020, Birmingham
https://ima.org.uk/12530/7th-ima-conference-on-numerical-linear-algebra-and-
optimization/

The IMA is pleased to announce the Seventh Biennial IMA Conference on
Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization. The success of modern
codes for large-scale optimization is heavily dependent on the use of
effective tools of numerical linear algebra. On the other hand, many
problems in numerical linear algebra lead to linear, nonlinear or
semidefinite optimization problems. The purpose of the conference is
to bring together researchers from both communities and to find and
communicate points and topics of common interest. This Conference has
been organised in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

Conference topics include any subject that could be of interest to
both communities, such as: Direct and iterative methods for large
sparse linear systems; Eigenvalue computation and optimization;
Large-scale nonlinear and semidefinite programming; Effect of
round-off errors, stopping criteria, embedded iterative procedures;
Optimization issues for matrix polynomials; Fast matrix computations;
Compressed/sparse sensing; PDE-constrained optimization; Distributed
computing and optimization; Applications and real time optimization.

Registration is currently open at https://my.ima.org.uk/

Supervisor: Dr. Bernie Daigle, Jr., Assistant Professor, Departments
of Biological Sciences and Computer Science

Experimental biologists are generating data at an unprecedented rate.
Unfortunately, biological insight has not kept pace with this deluge
of data. The goal of my lab is to improve the inference of biological
meaning from the wealth of experimental data collected from single
cells to whole organisms. To do so, we develop sophisticated
statistical and computational tools that enable integrated analyses of
noisy, heterogeneous datasets. More information on the lab can be
found at http://daiglelab.org.

Assistantships are available for students interested in pursuing a
Ph.D. in computational systems biology. Our research in this area
involves developing and applying computational methods for inferring
gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from single-cell gene expression data.
Currently, we have openings on a project applying deep learning
techniques to rapidly and accurately infer GRNs from single-cell RNA-
sequencing data.

The successful candidate should be highly motivated and have some
Python programming experience. Prior research experience in
bioinformatics and/or computational biology is desirable. Details
