Dear students, if you are just thinking about suitable optional courses for the academic year 2019-2020, we would like to draw your attention to the course High-performance computing for computational science that will be taught by Erin Carson. We are absolutely sure that you will enjoy this course!

Dear colleagues, dear students,

It is our pleasure to announce that Helena Švihlová has been awarded by the Bolzano Prize for her work “Determination of pressure data from velocity data with a view towards its application in cardiovascular mechanics“. Congratulations! You can read the interview with Helena on the faculty webpage.

Dear colleagues, dear students,

It is our pleasure to announce that Jan Zeman has been awarded by the second place in the student competition SVOČ 2019. His work “Gradient polyconvexity and its application to problems of mathematical elasticity and plasticity” has been awarded in section M7/8 Applied mathematics. Congratulations!

We would also like to thank the other participants for the good representation of our university. Thank you!

Dear colleagues, Barbora Benešová (Prague), Manuel Friedrich (Münster) and Martin Kružík (Prague) are organising workshop “Mathematics for Mechanics”. The workshop will take place in Prague on October 29 – November 1, 2019. For more information please visit the workshop website (http://m4m.utia.cas.cz/).

We cordially invite you to participate in the annual trip of the Mathematical modelling department.

This year the ~8km route starts at Černý most, leads through Klánovický les and ends in a restaurant in Klánovice (see https://goo.gl/maps/JJSkFWfveGA2 for details). You are welcome to bring your spouses, children (the route is stroller-friendly), friends, and dogs.
Date: Wednesday, May 1 2019 (May Day, public holiday)
Starting point: 9am near Černý most metro station (open space by Bryksova street, see https://goo.gl/maps/JJSkFWfveGA2 for details)
End point: a restaurant in Klánovice (TBA)

If you are interested in joining us on the trip, please confirm your participation by April 24 by sending the number of attendees to Erika Maringova: maringova@karlin.mff.cuni.cz

Přeposíláme email z České matematické společnosti. Studenti modelování by měli věnovat pozornost především druhému bodu — vyhlášení dalšího ročníku Soutěže studentů vysokých škol ve vědecké činnosti v matematice a informatice (SVOČ).

Vážení členové ČMS,
věnujte prosím pozornost následujícím dvěma aktualitám.

1. Byla vyhlášena soutěž na podporu akcí pro studenty a mladé kolegy pro rok 2019. Více informací najdete na http://jcmf.cz/?q=cz/node/1120. Termín pro podávání návrhů je do 31. 5. 2019.

2. Byl vyhlášen další ročník Soutěže studentů vysokých škol ve vědecké činnosti v matematice a informatice (SVOČ). Závěrečné kolo bude uspořádáno v Brně v areálu Ústavu matematiky a statistiky Přírodovědecké fakulty a Fakulty informatiky Masarykovy univerzity ve dnech 2. – 4. června 2019. Více informací o účasti v soutěži včetně aktuálních propozic najdete na http://jcmf.cz/?q=cz/node/775.

Se srdečným pozdravem
Tomáš Vejchodský

We are forwarding an email concerning PhD positions at FU Berlin.

Dear Colleagues,

there are two open PhD positions in the artificial photosynthesis group at FU Berlin (head: Sebastian Matera) which are devoted to the coupling of molecular and continuum scales in (photo)electrochemical systems.

Please forward this information to possible candidates.

Best regards

Dear students, Dear colleagues,

the summer semester has just started. Let me remind you a few things that are related to this important event.

Seminar Selected Problems in Mathematical Modelling (Vybrané problémy matematického modelování) which is also know as thesis seminar will take place irregularly on Mondays in the lecture room K12, see the attached schedule.

Note that you are required to give a presentation of your work at the seminar. The presentation is a necessary condition for getting the credits for the subject Diploma theis I/II/III. Please enroll for the seminar as soon as possible. Further, please check that you can give your presentation according to the schedule. If this is not possible, please contact us immediately, and we will try to find the date that is suitable for you.

Let us recall that the first year students are asked to give a 15 minutes presentation regarding the topic of the thesis (description of the topic, description of the main issues and methods that will be probably used for the solution of the given problem). Students in the second/third year are asked to give a 30 minutes presentation on the results/partial results obtained during the solution of the diploma thesis.

Official deadline for the selection of your diploma thesis topics is 15th February 2019.  If you already know the topic of your thesis and your supervisor, please check that the thesis has been officially assigned to you in the Study Information System (SIS). If you do not see the topic in SIS, please ask you supervisor to fix it.

It can happen that you are still not sure about the topic of your thesis. If this is the case, you might need our advice. If this is the case, please do not hesitate and contact us!

If you want to submit your thesis (in summer) this year, please note that the official deadline for the submission of your thesis is 10th May 2019. There is no chance to extend the deadline!

You might check the course list for interesting lectures. My secret tip for an interesting lecture is the new lecture Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of electrochemistry.

Erin Carson will begin her PRIMUS project Scalable and accurate numerical linear algebra for next-generation hardware this coming September, and she is currently hiring for a postdoc position and multiple PhD student positions to being in Fall 2019. If you are interested, please see details of the job postings here.

Milan Jirasek and Jan Zeman at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, are searching for a motivated Ph.D. student, who will work on our new ambitious project on non-periodic mechanical metamaterials. Candidates should be interested in and have some previous experience with mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of the mechanical response of materials or structures.
Interested candidates are invited to proceed to https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/370091 for additional details on the opening.
