Subject: Summer Positions, Center for Computing Research, Sandia National Labs

The Center for Computing Research (CCR) at Sandia National Lab
Laboratories seeks multiple students to participate in collaborative
res research across a wide range of areas in computer science, applied
mathematics, discrete mathematics, mathematical modeling, co
computational science and engineering, computational neuroscience an
and cognitive science (including cognitive and experimental
psychology, neuroscience, and linguistics). Possible research areas
include a advanced computer architectures, systems software,
programming languages and paradigms, networks, informatics and
information sciences, combinatorial mathematics, discrete event
simulation, scalable linear and nonlinear solvers, continuous and
discrete optimization, uncertainty quantification, statistics,
multiscale methods and mathematics, multiphysics modeling,
visualization, visual cognition, meshing, cybersecurity, advanced
modeling and simulation, human decision modeling, machine learning,
brain inspired computing and assessing human performance.  Students
are also sought with interests in applying computational methods to
scientific and engineering applications including shock physics,
molecular dynamics, MHD, CFD, electrical systems, MEMS, and climate
science. These student internships are for motivated and enthusiastic
individuals with excellent communication skills and who have the
desire to gain research experience in a highly collaborative research
environment.  Successful applicants will be exposed to a wide range of
computational and/or cognitive research at Sandia and will have a
strong project-based research experience working directly with Sandia
staff scientists.

Special issue: Dynamic inverse problems: modelling, regularization,
numerics
http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/0266-5611/page/Special_issue_dynamic_inverse%20problems_modelling_regularization_numerics

This special issue is devoted to highly topical research in the area
of dynamic inverse problems and will combine modelling, analysis and
regularization techniques relating to those problems, with practical
applications.

Papers concerned with the following aspects relating to DIPs are
welcomed:

- General model frameworks
- Optimal sampling schemes
- Model and system reduction for large-scale settings
- Regularization methods and their analysis
- Identification of spatio-temporal parameters
- Online identification problems
- Specifically developed numerical methods
- Novel applications

Submission deadline: 30 April 2017.
