For example, the session format will allow you to give presentations as a team of two researchers ("Presentation In Pairs") or of negative research results ("Things That Did Not Work As Expected"). Important 1: Even if you should not consider yourself a "young researcher" anymore (ECCOMAS sets the formal limit at the age of 40), please forward this invitation to other scholars (PhD students, Postdocs) in your group or at your university. Important 2: Due to the unconventional character of this minisymposium, authors have the possibility to give a presentation in this minisymposium in addition to a regular one in another session. If you are not sure on how to prepare your presentation and in which way it should be different from regular talks, the organizers are more than happy to help - simply write us an e-mail to get in touch ([log in to unmask]). To submit your abstract, you need to register on the conference website first (www.wccm-eccomas2020.org). Having completed the registration form, you will receive an e-mail with your username and password, which can be used to login to your WCCM-ECCOMAS 2020 account. From your "Registered Participants Area" click "Add Abstract" to prepare abstract submission. Do not forget to specify the right minisymposium name ("2100 Other / ECCOMAS Young Investigators Minisymposium").

Project: Image processing for flood detection and prediction Supervisor: Prof. Jo Ueyama Job Description: Flooding has been problematic in the state of Sao Paulo, especially in the rainy seasons. To mitigate the flood problem, we devised and deployed an Internet of Thing-based platform to detect and predict. Along with this platform, a camera that collects stream images periodically has been made available. The project aims to detect and predict flooding using images and thus automate the process of flood identification without human intervention. Such an approach only uses cameras without the need for the river height sensor that remains submerged in the urban streams. Such sensors are usually susceptible to failure as they are continually in contact with river water. The successful candidate will work to establish a collaboration between image processing and the Internet of Thing areas. Requirements: Applicants should have a PhD in Computer Science or related fields such as Computer Engineering. Candidates must have got their PhD in the last 5 years. Application: Please send your application before January 31st 2020 to: [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] Please indicate "post-doctoral application - Image Processing" in the subject line. Applications should include curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and two contact information for recommendation letters (only PDF files).

The positions are available as a part of the Norwegian-funded research project DeCipher in collaboration between SimulaMet, Cancer Registry of Norway, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Karolinska University Hospital. The project combines the unique Norwegian and Swedish registry data from more than 2 million individuals including extensive screening histories and epidemiological expertise, with LLNL's exceptional HPC computing infrastructure, data analysis and modelling experience, and with Simula's expertise in machine learning methodology. The DeCipher project aims to develop a data-driven framework to provide a personalized time-varying risk assessment for cancer initiation and identify subgroups of individuals and factors leading to similar disease progression. Specifically, the following sub-projects will be investigated: - Development of matrix factorization approaches for reconstruction of   individualized disease trajectories from longitudinal screening data. - Development of data fusion approaches based on matrix and tensor   factorizations for joint analysis of longitudinal screening data and   lifestyle information as well as other relevant health data. Application deadline: December 01, 2019. Interested candidates can learn more about the project and submit their applications through the application portal: https://www.simulamet.no/about/job/call-phd-and-postdoc-fellows-develop-machine-learning-approaches-personalized-cancer ------------------------------------------------------- From: Matteo Giacomini [log in to unmask] Date: October 26, 2019 Subject: PhD Position, Univ Politècnica de Catalunya–CIMNE One PhD position is available in Prof. Antonio Huerta's group within the Laboratori de Calcul Numeric (LaCaN) at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya-CIMNE in Barcelona.
