Congratulations to Narciso Gomes for winning the IMU-Simons African Fellowship for the research stay at our Analysis & PDE Centre of Ghent University, from July 15, 2022 – September 30, 2022.
The award is to work on the joint project
Very weak solutions for Dirac operators with distributional coefficients
Narciso Gomes is from the University of Cabo Verde in Africa. He is based at the Campus Universitário Palmarejo Grande – Novo Campus Praia, Santiago Island.
The IMU – Simons African Fellowship Programsupports research sabbaticals for mathematicians from African developing countries employed in Africa to travel to an internationally renown mathematical centre of excellence (worldwide) for collaborative research. All travel and living expenses of the grantees will be covered by the fellowship up to 5,000 USD. See more here. Please also see Simons Foundation Website.
A member of our Analysis & PDE centre, Hong-Wei Zhang, waspresented“The Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad” which is given by the Chinese government to graduate students studying abroad who are not funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC). Recipients are chosen worldwide each year for their outstanding accomplishments in academia. Only 500 are awarded annually among all Chinese overseas graduate students in all disciplines. Because of this highly competitive selection, this prestigious award is considered the highest award the Chinese government gives to overseas graduate students.
The prize comes with a certificate and 6000 USD award.
Scope: In recent years there has been major advances in harmonic analysis and spectral theory over groups and general noncommutative structures, such as full symbol calculus for compact and nilpotent groups or spectral theory for quaternionic and Clifford-algebra valued operators. These new theories also brought new ideas to areas like very weak solutions of PDEs, anharmonic analysis, or operator calculus over discrete structures as well as in applications in signal and image processing, inverse problems, and machine learning. This conference aims to bring together experts working in these and adjacent fields to exchange new ideas and create future lines of research and collaboration.
The August 2021 edition of the Mexican magazine Revista D Escenarios dedicated an interview to the Colombian mathematician and currently a PhD student and a member of our Ghent Analysis and PDE Center,Duvan Cardona Sanchez. The Interview was prepared by the international press officer Alejandra Suárez Giraldo.
Duvan talked about some of his responsibilities as a young mathematician. He serves from 2020 as a ‘Par evaluador’ (academic reviewer) for the Colombian Science Ministry and for Colciencias (the group of validation of the scientific investigation in Colombia) in view of his experience as a reviewer for Mathematical Reviews, and his recognised achievements awarded by the Colombian Academy of Sciences.
In this interview Duvan talked about his career, his experience as a PhD student at Ghent University and the recognition of his work between the Latin-American mathematicians. Also, he commented about his experience as a lecturer in several universities in Colombia, before of starting his PhD and also, about the recent developments of his joint works with the Russian mathematician Michael Ruzhansky and the Colombian mathematician Julio Delgado. In particular, he remarked the amazing experience of working under the supervision of Michael Ruzhansky.
Duvan shared his point of view about the mathematical investigation in Colombia, and his role as a young mathematician who is consolidated in Latin-America as a young face of the mathematical research. He certainly dedicates his achievements to their mentors at Universidad del Valle, Los Andes University and at Ghent University.
Duvan’s mathematical work, before and after starting his doctorate, has caught the attention of the Latin American mathematical community, who now see in this young mathematician a source of inspiration for the future generations. Duvan also describes the amazing experience of working with fellows and colleagues from several countries, Kazakhstan, India, Italy, Colombia, China, etc. and the high level of the scientific research developed in the group of Michael Ruzhansky. According with Semilla Spirall Foundation, Duvan Cardona is committed with the education of children in his homeland, he has donated economic resources from his doctoral scholarship, to the benefit of the educational processes of the native communities in Sierra-Nevada. A remote place in Santa Marta-Colombia, where the population lives in situations of extreme poverty. In the past, when he was an undergraduate student, he worked during several years to the service of vulnerable populations in Buenaventura-Colombia, commented Pastora Velazquez, a community leader of Buenaventura.

G. H. Hardy reported Harald Bohr as saying ’all analysts spend half their time hunting through the literature for inequalities which they want to use but cannot prove’.
Nonharmonic analysis: We show the difference between harmonic vs nonharmonic analysis and give a survey of our recent works.
Harmonic analysis: symmetries in the underlying space, e.g. working with on with ; more generally, working with representations of compact, nilpotent, or more general locally compact type I groups;
Nonharmonic analysis:no symmetries in the underlying space, e.g. working with on with ; This name was given by Paley and Wiener.
Prof. Ruzhansky gave a talk about “Nonharmonic pseudo-differential analysis” at Seminar on Analysis, Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics, at the Southern Federal University, Russia.
ResearchGate is a European commercial social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators. By some people, it is also considered like a Facebook for scientists.
So we have created a ResearchGate page for our Methusalem/Odysseus Programme to advertise and share our research papers and related activities (conferences, posters, advertisements, etc.)
Our group would like to congratulate the Belgian Mathematical Society (BMS) with 100 years anniversary since the BMS was founded on 14 March 1921. Surprisingly or not, this date coincides with the Pi-day (3.14) in Mathematics. Read more
Also, you find the information about our new junior seminar in the BMS newsletter, as well as an announcement of open positions at our Analysis & PDE Centre.
We would like to announce that the logos of our group are available for download by clicking on the pictures. The logos can be used in materials such as conferences, seminars, presentations, lectures, etc. Link to page
