We are glad to announce that Prof. Uwe Kähler has been awarded a prestigious FWO grant for a long-term visit to the Ghent Analysis & PDE Center in Belgium. This exciting opportunity will foster collaboration and knowledge exchange within the field of analysis and PDEs.

About Prof Uwe Kähler

His research interests revolve around various aspects of this field, including approximation of harmonic and monogenic functions. He delves into discrete function theories in higher dimensions and develops numerical methods based on these theories. Prof. Kähler also studies higher-dimensional analytic signals, specifically monogenic signals, and explores their applications. In addition, he conducts research on harmonic analysis over non-commutative structures. Through his work, Prof. Kähler significantly contributes to advancing our understanding of this complex mathematical realm. He is currently serving as the President of the International Society for Analysis, its Applications, and Computation (ISAAC).

Objectives of the Visit

During his visit, Prof Uwe Kähler aims to achieve the following objectives:

1. Collaborative Research: Prof Kähler will engage in collaborative research projects with members of the Ghent Analysis & PDE Center. Together, they will tackle important problems in mathematical analysis, pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
2. Knowledge Exchange: Through seminars, workshops, and informal discussions, Prof Kähler will share his expertise and insights with the members of the Ghent Analysis & PDE Center. This exchange of ideas will enrich the mathematical community and inspire new research directions.
3. Mentoring and Networking: Prof Kähler will provide mentorship to young mathematicians, offering guidance and support in their academic journeys. Additionally, he will network with researchers, fostering interdisciplinary connections and promoting the growth of the mathematical analysis community.

Conclusion

The FWO grant awarded to Prof Uwe Kähler represents a significant milestone for both him and the Ghent Analysis & PDE Center. This collaboration will undoubtedly lead to groundbreaking discoveries and advancements in the field of analysis. We eagerly anticipate the fruitful outcomes that will emerge from this exciting visit.

We are glad to share the interview with Charles Fefferman by Duván Cardona. Among several awards, Charlie Fefferman has been awarded the Fields Medal (1978), the Alan T. Waterman Award (1976), the Bergman Prize (1992), the Bôcher Memorial Prize (2008), the Wolf Prize (2017), and the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award (2021). In particular, he was awarded the Fields Medal in 1978 for his contributions to mathematical analysis.

In this enlightening conversation, Fefferman delves into the depths of his mathematical experiences, offering a rare glimpse into the mind of one of the world’s foremost mathematicians. Notably, Charles Fefferman will also be a featured speaker at the upcoming ICMAM Latin American Satellite Conference in Analysis and PDE 2023, further enriching the academic landscape with his insights. Join us as we uncover the brilliance behind the mathematics, gain profound insights, and celebrate the contributions of this remarkable mathematician. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with mathematical excellence! Stay tuned for the full interview and mark your calendars for the conference.

During the Summer School “Modern Problems in PDEs and applications”, our Ghent Analysis and PDE Center hosted the exhibition “Women of Mathematics from around the world”, brought to us by Prof Sylvie Paycha (Potsdam University) .

In this framework, Prof Sylvie Paycha delivered the talk “Women in mathematics from around the world: A gallery of portraits”.

One of the valuable works of Prof Sylvie Paycha related to women of mathematics can be found on the website womeninmath.net

Our Ghent Analysis and PDE Center is proud to take part in these activities. In particular, see our own project on Women in Analysis and PDE

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:

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.
