Applied Mathematics Day: event brings together Centro Pi, Visgraf and Fluid
On the 27th, IMPA is holding the first edition of Applied Mathematics Day, a joint event organized by the Pi Center (IMPA’s Center for Projects and Innovation), Visgraf (IMPA’s Computer Graphics Laboratory) and Fluid (Fluid Dynamics Laboratory). The event opens the doors of the institute to undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students interested in getting to know, in an integrated way, the work developed by IMPA’s main laboratories in the area of applied mathematics.
The program takes place throughout the day in IMPA’s Auditorium 3, with lectures, institutional presentations and moments dedicated to networking. Participation is free, subject to prior registration, and places are limited. Access the registration form here.
The event aims to present applied mathematics as a central tool for areas such as computer graphics, fluid modeling, artificial intelligence, climate, environment and acoustics.
“The idea is to invite the public to see the research carried out at IMPA. Get to know the Pi Center, VisGraf and Fluid groups a little better. Participants will have access to the super-interesting topics we are working on, many cool projects. We’ll be presenting Fluid’s work on modeling fluid propagation; various projects from the Pi Center and Visgraf’s computer graphics applications,” says project scientist Lucas Nissenbaum.
Program
Applied Mathematics Day” will be divided into two parts. In the morning, from 9 a.m. to 10.30 a.m., there will be institutional presentations, opened by IMPA’s director-general, Marcelo Viana, followed by presentations on teaching and research in applied mathematics and presentations of the institute’s main laboratories. This will be followed by a coffee break with networking, to encourage direct conversation between researchers, students and visitors.
From 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., the event will feature more in-depth lectures on topics such as artificial intelligence applied to climate forecasting and deforestation detection, visual computing, optimal mass transport, spontaneous stochasticity and acoustic propagation modeling. Researchers and doctoral students from IMPA will give presentations.
As well as disseminating cutting-edge research, the initiative also reinforces IMPA’s role in training new researchers. “We’re always looking for master’s and doctoral students, and we’d love to have more applied master’s and doctoral students next year,” says Nissenbaum.
The event will take place on January 27, in person at IMPA. Registration is required. Access the site.
