Faculty of Mathematics and Physics cordially invites you to 25th Jarník’s Lecture “Energy based mathematical modelling, simulation and control” given by Prof. Dr. Volker Mehrmann (TU Berlin). See the attached invitation for details.

During the fall session of the state final exams, the following bachelor and master theses in mathematical modelling were successfully defended:

Antonín Černý: Properties of the MUAS method for quadratic finite elements
Šimon Húdek: Modeling mitochondrial morphology
Jakub Mikáč: Dynamic model of the onset of the 2024 Noto earthquake in Japan
Jindřich Pohl: Mixed precision approximation of hierarchical matrices in applications
Šimon Andrš: Information distance and non-standard entropies

Adam Dvořák: Modelling and numerical simulation of the athermal ω phase in titanium alloys
Kamil Belán: Numerical methods for the simulation of air flow past a mountain
Timotej Kačur: Machine learning for recognition of physical systems
Tomáš Taut: Using neural networks for calculating potential energy surfaces of molecules

We would like to thank all the students, advisors, consultants, and reviewers for a good work.

Professor Jaroslav Haslinger will, as a special exception this year, be giving lectures on shape and material optimization, namely Shape and material optimisation 1 – NMNV541 and Shape and material optimisation 2 – NMNV542. Everyone is welcome.

4EU+ Flagship 3 (Digitisation, Modelling, Transformation) is organising a block course on variational approaches to partial differential equations. The course will take place on October 5-9, 2026 at Heidelberg University. See course webpage for details.

Dear colleagues, you might be interested in the summer school “Analytic and Geometric aspects of evolutionary PDEs“.

We have been asked to share the following announcement regarding a PhD position.

Dear colleagues,

I am contacting you to inform you about an open PhD position in my research team at the Laboratoire Réactions et Génie des Procédés, University of Lorraine, in Nancy (France).

This PhD project is in the field of chemical engineering, combining applied thermodynamics and process systems engineering (PSE) approaches. The PhD candidate will also work in close collaboration with EDF R&D (Electricité de France – Research and Development Division).

Please find attached the full description of the PhD project as well as information on how to apply via the CNRS job portal.

I would be grateful if you could share this opportunity within your network with potentially interested candidates.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Kind regards,

Jean-Noël JAUBERT

Lenka Ptáčková is organising Workshop on Discrete Exterior Calculus (April 28 – 29, 2026; Prague). For more details, visit the workshop webpage.

Series of lectures, which are part of the 4EU+ 2026 consortium’s Visiting Professors campaign. The lectures concern NMR and MRI equations: theory and numerical solution and are lead by doc. Stefano Pozza, Dr., Ph.D. from Department of Numerical Mathematics and Pr. Christian BONHOMME from LCMPC. The lectures are in hybrid form and take place at the Laboratory of Condensed Matter Chemistry (LCMCP) at Sorbonne University. To attend the lectures on-line please write directly to Stefano at pozza@karlin.mff.cuni.cz in order to recieve link and materials related to the seminar.

The seminars will be related to linear, nonlinear, and fractional differential equations, which are at the heart of spin dynamics. The latest theoretical developments concerning the *-product and Omega calculus (Pozza, Bonhomme, Giscard, Neto) will be presented. A large part of the teaching will focus on the numerical solution of differential equations using MATLAB.

The aim is to completely “demystify” the mathematics underlying spin dynamics. The seminars are open to all students and permanent staff. There are no prerequisites in mathematics, MATLAB, or spin dynamics. The lessons will be interactive, with challenges to be completed between sessions.

The dates of the seminars (J. LEVISALLES room – Tower 42 – Basement; if you are in Paris) are:

-> 6.3.2026; 9:00 – 12:00
-> 13.3. 2026, 14:00 – 17:00
-> 20.3.2026, 9:00 – 12:00

The program for the first seminar is given below.
We hope to see many of you there!

Members of Mathematical modelling group are co-organising the conference “Modeling blood flow in the cardiovascular system and artificial devices – recent developments and challenges”. The conference will take place in Prague on 27-29 March, 2026. Details can be found on the conference website.

CERGE-EI researchers will present three different topics in economic theory using advanced math tools.
We invite mathematics and physics BA/MA students, PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and professors to join us to learn more about the uses of various tools of advanced mathematics in theoretical economics.
