The traditional Kácov school will take place in June 2025, see school webpage (https://ems-masc.cuni.cz/) for details. If you want to participate in the school, please register as soon as possible.

SCUDEM — SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling is a 3-student group modeling challenge that runs over multiple days culminating in a strict limit 10 minute video which is reviewed by at least 3 judges, for more details see SCUDEM webpage and the announcement at MathWorks (the company behind Matlab software) webpage. Registration deadline is 19th October 2024. If you are interested in participating, please let us know.

Dear Modelling Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the traditional kickoff of the modelling semester: Vol. 2024/2025. Join us for dinner with students and related academic staff, and start the new semester on the right foot. We look forward to seeing you there!

When: Wednesday, October 9th, from 7:00 PM
Where: Peter’s Pub (https://www.peterspub.cz/)

On behalf of all organisers,

The traditional Jarník’s Lecture will take place on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. in Jarník´s auditorium (M1), Ke Karlovu 3, Prague 2. See the attached leaflet for details.

The eighth Firedrake user and developer workshop will be held at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford from 16-18 September 2024.

The workshop will be an opportunity for Firedrake users and developers to discuss the latest developments in the project, anticipated future developments, and how Firedrake can be used in the numerical solution of partial differential equations. More details are available at https://www.firedrakeproject.org/firedrake

In cooperation with “Virtual Vehicle Research GmbH”, we are currently looking for a PhD student or Postdoc in the group of Prof. Volkwein in Konstanz.

Mathematically the project is concerned with model order reduction for a heat transfer problem (in fluid and solid), which is coupled to Navier-Stokes in the fluid part. More details can be found in pdf below.

European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) is organising traditional ECMI Modelling Week. The forthcoming Modelling Week that will be held in Catania, in June 23-29. The registration is open. If you want to participate in this event, please let us (Josef Málek) know, and we can try to find some funding for you.

The registration for High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering (HPCSE) 2024 conference is now open. The conference will take place from 20 to 23 May 2024 at the Hotel Solan, Beskydy Mountains. You can look forward to engaging lectures and discussions on the latest trends in high performance computing, applied mathematics, numerical analysis, high performance data analytics, machine/deep learning, quantum computing, and advanced visualisation.

The preliminary conference program and the names of our distinguished plenary speakers can be found HERE.

To attend the conference, please register through the official conference website: https://hpcse.it4i.cz/HPCSE24/registrace.php, where you can specify the type of your conference contribution (none/contributed talk/poster).

Registration is open until 26 April 2024. Please ensure that you secure your spot in time.

Dear students,

Attached you will find the tentative schedule of the seminar NMMO564 Selected Problems in Mathematical Modelling/NMMO328 Seminar for Bachelor Thesis. As you probably know, mathematical modelling students present intermediate results/assignments of their thesis at the seminar. MSc. D. students formally enroll in NMMO564 Selected Problems in Mathematical Modeling Seminar, BSc. students formally enroll in the seminar NMMO328 Seminar on Bachelor Thesis, but practically it is the same seminar, which is scheduled for Wednesdays 12:20 – 13:50 in the K5 classroom (Karlín) this year. The seminar is compulsory in the sense that we usually require it as a prerequisite for the credit for Diploma Thesis 1/2/3 and Bachelor Thesis – but of course we mainly want to be pleased with your results. Please do not forget to register for the seminar in SIS.

Please see the attached document for guidelines on the length of presentations and so forth. The schedule is tentative and we expect it to change. If you want to move your presentation to another date, please arrange the transfer with a specific person, we only need to know the result of your agreement (send an email to prusv@karlin.mff.cuni.cz, Vít Průša), we do not want to enter into the negotiation process.

The schedule is based on the current data in SIS. If you have a thesis/bachelor’s thesis assigned and the thesis is not visible in SIS, please notify your thesis advisor/supervisor — he or she must process it through the SIS.

On behalf of the seminar organizers,

Vít Průša

Dear colleagues, we have received the following announcement on PhD positions in the field of computational/mathematical modelling and experimental validation of (meta)materials.

Dear colleagues and students,

Consortium METRAMAT, coordinated from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), offers 10 PhD positions in the field of computational/mathematical modelling and experimental validation of (meta)materials. Positions involve (i) computational design and simulation (ranging from coupled electro-magneto-mechanical problems, acoustic and dynamic problems, to robust design and optimization), (ii) manufacturing, characterization, and reliability, and (iii) system integration (modelling of applications in MEMS, lithography, additive manufacturing, or vibration shielding). Placement includes TU/e, KU Leuven, Politecnico Di Milano, and NTNU. For more information, please visit the official webpage https://metramat.eu/.
