Most researchers are white males and most software is developed by all-white, all-male teams. We all lose out if we accept this state. An important piece in addressing this issue is building a *community* among those who do not look like the majority. As one step towards this, we will run the Computational Methods for PDEs Summer School Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO, USA August 3-9, 2019 This summer school is geared toward undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in the numerical solution of partial differential equations, primarily using the finite element method. While registration is open to everyone, we will give strong preference to female applicants and applicants from other minorities. The school will run August 3-5. It precedes the "Seventh deal.II Users' and Developers' workshop" which will be held August 6-9, 2019, also in Fort Collins, Colorado. Participants of the school will get an introduction to deal.II and will then participate in the deal.II workshop. More information and registration: https://dealii.org/pdeschool-2019/ Deadline for registration: May 5, 2019. Participation is capped at around 30. Travel support: A limited amount of (domestic) travel support is available courtesy of the National Science Foundation, with preference to undergraduate and graduate students. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Hesam Salehipour [log in to unmask] Date: April 08, 2019 Subject: Summer School: AI for Engineering, Canada, Aug 2019 https://www.ai4engineering.com/ Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Engineering Summer School 2019, hosted by Autodesk, is a two-week event that brings together a talented group of engineering graduate students and industry professionals to acquire expertise in state-of-the-art AI methods and techniques, with the focus on deep learning and reinforcement learning. While there has been a significant resurgence of AI technologies, other scientific disciplines such as mechanical or civil engineering are yet to fully embrace these new promising technologies, especially in their academic curriculum. The goal of this inaugural event is to bridge this gap between the recent advancements in AI and engineering fields. Primarily, this event aims to educate the participants on the significance and potential of AI applications in engineering. Lectures and tutorials will be given to bring the participants up to speed with the latest deep learning methods and techniques. In addition, a series of invited talks will demonstrate how AI can be employed beyond its typical applications such as image classification, text processing, and speech recognition tasks. The talks will elucidate how AI can also be leveraged in various engineering problems where experimental, observational and simulation data are available. Finally, the participants will get to employ the learned methods on engineering-specific problems in hands-on workshops. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Timo Heister [log in to unmask] Date: April 10, 2019 Subject: deal.II User and Developer Workshop, Aug 2019 The Seventh deal.II Users' and Developers' workshop will be held August 6-9, 2019 in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. The intent of this workshop is to discuss applications and tools using deal.II, as well as future directions of the library itself. We invite proposals for talks and discussion topics by users and existing developers in the following areas: - Use cases and applications of the library. - What users think would be useful directions for the library to go into, things that are missing, and possibly getting people together who can help implement those parts. - Newer parts of the library (e.g., geometry descriptions, large parallel computations, etc.) and how these could help in your programs. A significant part of the time will be set aside for "hackathon"- or "code jam"-style sessions where people can ask questions, work on their codes with others, and receive help from experienced users. For workshop and registration information, see https://dealii.org/workshop-2019/ Deadline for registration: May 5, 2019. Participation is capped at around 60. Travel support: A limited amount of (domestic) travel support is available courtesy of the National Science Foundation, and will be given on a first come first serve basis, with preference to undergraduate and graduate students. If you need support, please state so in your registration. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jochen Garcke [log in to unmask] Date: April 12, 2019 Subject: High-Dimensional Approximation (HDA 2019), Zurich, Sep 2019 The 8th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation will be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, on September 9-13, 2019.

The selected candidate will work at Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences of the University of Sao Paulo in Sao Carlos/SP, Brazil. The position is for one year. Project: High performance computing and multiscale domain decomposition methods for the simulation of petroleum reservoirs Supervisor: Dr. Fabricio Simeoni de Sousa Description: The simulation of large oil reservoirs, such as those found in the pre-salt layers of the Brazilian coast, require the use of computational meshes of billions of elements, a scale that still cannot be handled with current commercial simulators. The use of multiscale domain decomposition methods have shown great scalability potential that allows an efficient parallelization of meshes with such order of magnitude. Among the several methods found in the literature, the Multiscale Robin Coupled Method (MRCM) has become a reference in the area thanks to its great flexibility introduced by the Robin boundary condition and the independent choice of interface spaces. The present project aims the development and implementation of the 3D version of the Multiscale Robin Coupled Method (MRCM), in a high performance computing environment, taking advantage of its modern hybrid multicore architecture. The final goal is to implement a large-scale simulator capable of handling meshes with billions of elements, required for the accurate simulation of large petroleum reservoirs. Professor Fabricio Simeoni de Sousa will lead the research, jointly with his research group. Requirements: Applicants should have PhD in Applied Mathematics, Computer Sciences, or related fields, with experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics. Experience in the implementation of multiscale methods for reservoir simulation is required. We also require experience with order reduction methods for subsurface flows problems and experience in high performance computing with C/C++ languages. At least one scientific journal paper published in the last 5 years in the field of multiscale methods for reservoir simulation is required. Candidates must have got their PhD in the last 5 years. Application: Please send your application before April 30, 2019 to: Dr. Fabricio Simeoni de Sousa ([log in to unmask]). Please indicate "CEPID Postdoc - Multiscale Methods" in the subject line.
