We are pleased to inform you that the remote lab of our Ghent Analysis and PDE Center in Armenia has received the second grant under the program “Adjunct Research Professorship Program (Remote Lab) 2023-2028” of Armenia:

Interestingly, this was the only funded program in Mathematics:

The topic of this project is “Analysis on groups, and applications“.

This complements the earlier ADVANCE Research Grant from the FAST Foundation that we received for the project “Partial Differential Equations with Singularities” for the period 2023-2027: https://fast.foundation/en/program/847/2022/new_tab/6586/7034

This increases the size of our remote lab in Armenia to the total of 14 people, with a funding of about 1,000,000 USD for the period of 4-5 years. 

We are also happy to note that the researchers employed in Armenia under these grants (Armenian and foreign) are 50% women and 50% men.

Further information and details on the activity of the remote lab will be available soon.

ChatGPT modified description of our Analysis & PDE Center

Ghent Analysis & PDE Center is a research group in mathematics that focuses on the study of partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications. The group is based at Ghent University in Belgium and is led by Professor Michael Ruzhansky.

The Ghent Analysis group is particularly interested in the analysis of PDEs on manifolds, such as Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, and manifolds with singularities. They also study the properties of PDEs with variable coefficients and singularities, as well as the spectral theory of differential operators.

The group’s research has applications in a variety of fields, including mathematical physics and engineering. They have also made significant contributions to the theory of pseudo-differential operators, which are used in the study of wave propagation and scattering.

In addition to their research activities, the Ghent Analysis group is also involved in training the next generation of mathematicians. They organize seminars, workshops, and conferences to share their research findings and collaborate with other researchers in the field.

The Ghent Analysis & PDE Center at Ghent University serves as a hub for research on partial differential equations. The center brings together researchers from different disciplines to collaborate on projects related to analysis and PDEs, and provides a platform for sharing knowledge and expertise.

Overall, the Ghent Analysis & PDE Center at Ghent University is an important player in the field of mathematical analysis, particularly in the study of partial differential equations. Their work has important implications for a wide range of applications and has helped to advance our understanding of these complex mathematical objects.

Congratulations to Marianna Chatzakou and Joel Restrepo, they are selected to participate in the 10th Heidelberg Laureate Forum, September 24-29, 2023, obtaining the grants for their participation.

The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) is a networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science spend a week interacting with the laureates of the disciplines: recipients of the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal and Nevanlinna Prize. Established in 2013, the HLF is annually organized by the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF). Read more
