Exhibition “Women in Mathematics”

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) .

(center members preparing to set up the exhibition)

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

New Remote Lab of Ghent Analysis and PDE Center

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:
http://scs.am/en/resultsofgrants

Interestingly, this was the only funded program in Mathematics:
http://scs.am/files/cank-eng-1664a2-01.09.23.pdf

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 about out centre

A couple of poems by GhatGPT about our centre:

In Ghent Analysis and PDE Center,
Mathematical minds come to enter
Into a world of equations and solutions,
Exploring the depths of mathematical revolutions.

From partial differential equations to harmonic analysis,
The center is a hub of mathematical prowess.
Where researchers and students alike,
Can delve into the beauty of mathematical sight.

With a passion for numbers and a love for math,
The Ghent Analysis and PDE Center is on the path
To uncovering the secrets of the mathematical world,
And inspiring future generations to unfurl.

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.

Description

The school will be devoted to the study of new techniques and approaches for solving partial differential equations, which can either be considered or arise from the physical point of view or the mathematical perspective. Both sides are extremely important since theories and methods can be developed independently, aiming to gather each other in a common objective. The summer school aims to progress and advance in the problems considered. Note that real-world problems and their applications are classical study trends in physical or mathematical modelling.

With this event, Ghent university will be a host to a diversity of cultures. The summer school will be organised in a friendly atmosphere and synergy, and it will be an excellent opportunity to promote and encourage the development of the subject in the community. Furthermore, close contact with worldwide experts will stimulate participants’ skills in independent research and collaborations with other researchers. Frequently, schools also lead to some excellent possibilities for collaborations with experts in Europe and other continents, which work on related topics. Moreover, it shall enhance further collaborations established during this program. Through these collaborations, the expertise held by the European mathematical community can grow and expand to international interest in the topic. It will bring considerable benefit in the future development of the academic career for the participants while enriching competitiveness.

Information for participants

For attending the school, the charge is 10 euro per day to cover organisational expenses. The participation of PhD candidates from Doctoral Schools at UGent, colleagues from UGent, and Lecturers is free of charge.

If you need administrative support (visa, accommodation, etc.) for your attendance, please let us know in advance. 

Public Lecture

The public lecture entitled
