Particle-based numerical simulations

Date: 05.11.24 - 06.11.24

Abstract:

Particle-based simulations are a versatile tool for numerically investigating complex physical systems, including fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and multi-physics problems. They are well-suited for a number of applications that are difficult to address using traditional grid-based methods, but present their own set of challenges in terms of accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency.
 
In this workshop, researchers from various scientific disciplines come together to discuss recent advancements in particle-based simulations. In addition to exploring innovative modeling approaches and developments in numerical methods, the workshop places special emphasis on efficient algorithms and modern implementation techniques. The first day features presentations from experts in the field, while the second day hosts a hackathon, offering practitioners the chance to work on their own projects and collaborate with fellow participants.

Inverse problems in atmospheric sciences

Date

07.10.2024 - 08.10.2024

Abstract: Inverse problems, or the problem of inferring unknown causes from observed effects, represent an important methodology at the intersection of applied mathematics, statistics, and diverse application domains. This workshop focuses on the application within the atmospheric sciences, encompassing both practical challenges and theoretical advancements, with a particular emphasis on data assimilation. Our aim is to bring together researchers from the diverse communities, ranging from theoretical to applied, to foster collaboration and enable fruitful discussions. In addition, our workshop will feature tutorial-style lectures and is therefore of interest for both established and younger researchers.

Dynamics of interfaces: From applied math to physics and material science

Date
04.03.2024 – 06.03.2024

Abstract
Interfaces appear in many physical and biological models, and the description of their dynamic behaviour is an interesting yet highly challenging research field. Models describing such behaviour are either based on an exact description of the interface or a diffuse interface (phase field) approximation. This workshop will bring together researchers working on modelling, numerical simulation, and mathematical analysis.

Interaction of mathematics and materials science

Date
28.02.24 - 01.03.24

Abstract

Interdisciplinary research between applied mathematicians and material scientists lays the foundation to leverage the full potential of novel materials. However, the disciplines use different terminology and have limited insight to each other’s daily work. For example, a material scientist may wonder which parameters are needed to model a specific behavior, while a mathematician wonders how certain parameters can be determined experimentally. Therefore, we organize a workshop targeted to doctoral students at the intersection of material modeling and material characterization.

Employing Biophysical Concepts in Biotechnological Production

Date
24.09.2023 - 29.09.2023

Abstract

Theworkshop focuses on the possibilities of combining microfluidic, biophysical and biotechnological approaches to develop cellular screening platforms for bioactive agents like, e.g., nature-derived compounds, peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, under circumvention of the cell membrane as delivery barrier. The combination of transient cell transfection with the use of the strong dependence of mechanical cell membrane properties on the membrane state as function of the environmental parameters might allow to increase the efficiency of this process, elementary for personalized medicine and small-scale protein production. Combining the expertise of life scientists, physicists and cell biologists will allow for identification of most promissing hybrid ap-proaches.
