Events

Probability challenges (CIMAT)

The BUC will centre around a collection of short courses earlier in the week. During the short courses, some tractable problems will be offered to PhD students who will be given until the end of the week to solve them as a way of becoming familiar with the material and literature presented.

Guanajuato Uncertainty Quantification “GUQ” (CIMAT)

This workshop aim is to bring together researchers of applied mathematics to show advances on uncertainty quantification of nonlinear dynamical systems. Uncertainty quantification encompasses methods to account for a cascade of errors arising while observing, modeling and discretizing physical models. We are interested on both, forward propagation of uncertainty as well as inverse assessment of model and parameter uncertainty.

Asymptotic and operator-theoretic techniques for the analysis of time-dispersive media (Bath)

The workshop will focus on the recent work of the Applied Analysis group at Bath and Theoreical Physics group at IIMAS, Mexico, on the development of functional models and the construction of scattering theory for differential operators dscribing the behaviour of periodic composite media.

Applied Analysis of Operators, PDE, Functionals (IIMAS-UNAM & Mérida)

The event is a research workshop in Mérida on 27 November -- 3 December 2017. The workshop will consist of several collaborative sessions and continues a series of mathematical research activities organised in Analysis. Also in the spirit of the BUC resaerch platform, this even is a smaller and more focused interaction strongly focused on driving towards publishable resaerch.

Air Quality and Health: a global issue with local challenges (UNAM)

This BUC will look at the increasingly dominant environmental topic of air quality and its health implications. BUC-X will consist of three parts. The first part will be a problem formulation sessions run in the style of the Bath-CDT SAMBa Integrative Think Tank. The second part is a course dediated to the data science of air quality and health. The third part is the BUC signature PhD min-conference for to ensure mixing of graduate students. With the recent move of Prof. Gavin Shaddick, this BUC introduces a new partner to the BUC research platform: Exeter University.

Branching processes and related topics (CIMAT)

This meeting will focus on recent developments in classical (spatial) branching processes with a strong focus on problems currently under consdieration by young researchers currently entering the field.

This meeting has been delayed until December 2017 due to last minute issues.

New date: 11th-15th December 2017

Stochastic Optimal Control (CIMAT)

The aim of the workshop is to encourage collaboration and new problems between academic researchers in Bath, UNAM and CIMAT, and we plan to have a mix of introductory lectures, seminars and open problem sessions, with time to develop team working on problems provided by the workshop participants.

Applied Analysis of Operators, PDE, Functionals (IIMAS-UNAM & CIMAT Mérida)

The event consist of two parts: The school in IIMAS-UNAM between 30 March and 3 April 2017, and the workshop in Merida on 5-7 April..

Uncertainty quantification: When PDEs meet data science (Bath)

BUC-V will pursue two main aims: To bring together statisticians who work on large-scale modelling with researchers from scientic computing and numerical analysis who are interested in high- (or infinite-) dimensional problems and UQ. To bring the most promising and novel methods from both communities in a synergistic way to bear on real, large-scale applications.
