Subject: IMA Early Career Math Conference, ONLINE, Oct 2020


Online Event: IMA Early Career Mathematicians' Autumn Conference 2020
https://ima.org.uk/13533/ima-early-career-mathematicians-autumn-conference-2020/
Do you want to discover what your mathematics future could look like?
Are you keen to meet and network with your mathematical peers? Then
you can do so with the IMA! Come along to the Online IMA Early Career
Mathematicians' Autumn Conference on 24-25 October 2020. This event is
free to attend and will be held via Zoom.

The conference will interest mathematicians early in their career, in
academia and industry, students of mathematical sciences, as well as
those with an interest in the subject. It will feature plenary talks
from distinguished speakers covering a wide range of subjects, as well
as activities to allow for interaction among the attendees and
speakers. This is a perfect opportunity to learn about fascinating
areas of mathematics (and their applications) from people that work on
them, whilst also providing you the chance to become more involved
with a professional body of mathematics. There will be plenty of time
to network during the conference at our Virtual Coffee Breaks,
allowing you the opportunity to meet people with similar interests and
find out more about the wide range of careers that are available.

Registration is currently open on our Portal. Please note that each
event day requires a separate booking.

The Early Career Mathematicians' (ECM) Branch is designed for those
with a maths degree who are within the first 15 years of graduating,
or, those without a degree who are within the first 15 years of
membership. The ECM group has been set up to engage and empower ECM,
and students of mathematics at university, to provide them with
support and an opportunity to network.

Subject: Numerics of PDEs Unplugged 2020, ONLINE, Oct 2020


In summer 2017 a workshop called PDEs_unplugged@Karlsruhe took place
at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany). Unplugged means that
only blackboard talks were given, and that mobile phones and laptops
were switched off during all talks. This very special format was
highly appreciated by all participants. The intention of Numerics of
PDEs unplugged 2020 is to transfer this concept to numerical
analysis. This is quite paradoxical considering that this field of
mathematics is actually motivated by the use of computers. Is it
possible to give talk on numerical methods for PDEs on a blackboard,
and without running movies or showing convergence plots? We believe:
it is! And we believe that the result will often be much better than
so many conference talks with a speaker clicking through 60 slides in
25 minutes.

Sadly, the Covid-19 pandemia put a spoke in our wheel. The Corona
restrictions forced us - irony of fate - to turn Numerics of PDEs
unplugged 2020 into a pure online event. All talks will be given as a
video conference via zoom, but our speakers [Lehel Banjai, Edinburgh
(Scotland); David Cohen, Gothenburg (Sweden); Balazs Kovacs, Tubingen
(Germany); Caroline Lasser, Munich (Germany); Maria Lopez-Fernandez,
Malaga (Spain); Christian Lubich, Tubingen (Germany); Alexander
Ostermann, Innsbruck (Austria); Gilles Vilmart, Geneva (Switzerland)]
will try to preserve as much as possible of the original unplugged
spirit. For more information and registration please visit

transport in complex anatomical geometries. Simulations will
eventually be carried out on high performance computing resources.

The candidate will collaborate with two other PhD candidates within
the consortium who will respectively perform experimental and clinical
studies. The Radboud University Medical Center will be one of the
main partners for the design and analysis of studies.

The applicants must hold a master's degree in Physics or Engineering

Subject: New Honours Program, Modelling and Simulation, Italy


Modelling and simulation is essential nowadays for the solution of
complex nonlinear problems and is of fundamental importance in many
areas of our everyday life. Models and computer simulations allow to
forecast complex processes, also in areas where experiments are
unfeasible or very difficult. The elite post-graduate honors program
Modelling & Simulation of the Department of Civil, Environmental and
Mechanical Engineering (DICAM) at the University of Trento offers
graduated MSc students, and those students who will graduate until
March 2021, coming from the areas of engineering, mathematics and
physics the possibility to gain additional and specific knowledge in
the fields of applied mathematics, computational mechanics and
scientific computing. The honors program Modelling & Simulation is an
ideal preparation for a subsequent PhD program in this area. All
courses can be officially recognized as credits for the DICAM PhD
program. It furthermore prepares students for complex simulations in
research & development departments of big international companies,
international engineering consultancy institutions and service
providers. To further increase the transfer of knowledge between
senior academics and students, Modelling & Simulation is endowed with
a mentoring program. UniTN is a research-intensive University located
in the Province of Trento in the North of Italy and is surrounded by
the Dolomiti mountains, a UNESCO world heritage site. UniTN is
constantly ranked among the best Italian Universities, also thanks to
its ability to attract competitive European funding, in particular ERC
grants of excellence. Among the key competences of DICAM are applied
mathematics and scientific computing, theoretical and computational
mechanics, as well as computational physics, which are the pillars of
the honors program Modelling & Simulation.

Further information on the program and the application process is
available on the website http://www.dicam.unitn.it/modsim

Deadline for applications is October 31st 2020 at 16:00 CET.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all courses of the honors program can
also be attended online.

Subject: Special Issue, Modelling and Estimation in Digital Twins


Digital twinning is the coupling between a dynamic system (physical
asset) and its computerised model (digital asset). The scope of this
is to allow for prediction and optimisation of operations via the
digital asset over the lifetime of the physical one. This, in turn,
requires that the computerised model is promptly calibrated so that
its response matches as close as possible the behaviour of the
physical asset via a continuous cycle of sensor data assimilation and
model prediction, tracking the temporal evolution of the physical
system. This framework is rooted in inverse problems and mathematical
modelling under uncertainty, and finds applications in automation of
manufacturing processes, structural health monitoring and biomedical
signal and image processing, among other areas. Of particular
importance to the digital twins context is the computational
efficiency of the algorithms involved and their scalability in
increasing dimensions, as model estimation and prediction tasks must
be available in near real-time to allow for timely decisions and
controls. This Special Issue aims to bring together articles
discussing recent algorithmic advances in mathematical modelling and
inverse problems of high-dimensional and complex systems. Articles on
topics in real-time simulation, model order reduction, online
learning, scalable uncertainty quantification and data-driven models
are particularly welcome.
