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. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Tobias Jahnke [log in to unmask] Date: October 09, 2020 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.

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. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Nick Polydorides [log in to unmask] Date: October 09, 2020 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.
