Description

The primary goal of this conference is to bring together scientists and mathematicians working in partial differential equations and related fields. Contemporary challenges raised by recent advances in engineering, industry, and bio-technology, will be confronted with state-of-the-art mathematical and computational tools in PDE. Some of the topics covered in this meeting can be found in the list of themes below. Advanced graduate students and young researchers are encouraged to participate. Limited funding is available for graduate students and recent PhDs.

Themes

* PDEs in biological systems
* Fluid mechanics and geophysical dynamics
* Conservation laws
* Kinetic theory
* Nonlinear waves
* Optimal control
* Elasticity
* Dispersive equations
* Geometric PDEs
* Stochastic PDE and financial math
* Imaging process
* Numerical analysis and computations
* Variational methods and applications in material sciences
