Subject: Workshop in Memory of Gene Golub, HKBU, Feb 2012
http://www.math.hkbu.edu.hk/ICM/workshop/WMCGene12/
On February 29, 2012, the Institute for Computational Mathematics
(ICM) at the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) celebrated the
80th(20th!) birthday of the late Gene Golub with a workshop on matrix
computations. Before his untimely death in November 2007, Gene agreed
to take up a three-year appointment as Distinguished Professor at
HKBU, and the University set up the ICM in anticipation of Gene's
assumption of duty in January 2008.
The one-day workshop was attended by about forty people, including
many young scholars and research students. Included in the program of
the workshop were thirteen 30-minute talks, two delicious meals and a
lot of warm memories. The different countries of origins of the
speakers: Canada, China, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland
and the USA, reflected only a fragment of the rich contact network
that Gene cultivated and which he enjoyed all his life.
The scientific topics included many of Gene’s favorite
subjects,including high performance computing, preconditioning, a
multi-lingual history of the finite element method, GMINRES, Krylov
schemes, the QRZ factorization, symmetric skew-symmetric splitting,
eigenvalue problemsand constrained least squares methods. The morning
session started and ended with personal reminiscences of Gene by Frank
Luk and Tony Chan, respectively. Raymond Chan concluded the workshop
by remarking that we must carry the torch to continue Gene's legacy.
Gene would have loved this workshop with its friendly and unassuming
atmosphere. The two wonderful meals (a Chinese lunch and an Asian
dinner buffet) reminded everybody of the banquets at the Chinese
restaurants near Stanford. Over dinner, Gene’s life was celebrated
again in conversations. As we all know, people and Chinese food were
among Gene's most favorite things in life!

Workshop and Summerschool on Adaptivity and Model Order Reduction
July 23 -- 27, 2012, Hamburg, Germany
http://www.math.uni-hamburg.de/moa/
The workshop brings together researchers working actively in the field
of PDE constrained optimization utilizing reduced order modeling
techniques and scientists so far mainly involved in the development of
model order reduction techniques for complex physical systems. Special
focus is put on exchange of ideas between these research areas, and to
enhance knowledge in model reduction techniques combined with PDE
constrained optimization in the applications.
The preceding summerschool will teach young scientists the fundamentals
in model reduction and adaptivity to build fruitful bridges between the
two disciplines.
Summerschool: July 23 -- 24

Subject: Sparse Grids and Applications, Germany, Jul 2012
The Workshop on Sparse Grids and Applications (SGA'12)
will be held at the Institute for Advanced Study of the
Technische Universitaet Muenchen
in July 2-6 2012.
Sparse grids have gained increasing interest in recent years for the
numerical treatment of high-dimensional problems. Where classical
numerical discretization schemes fail in more than three or four
dimensions, sparse grids allow to overcome the curse of dimensionality
to some extent - extending the number of dimensions that can be dealt
with.
The aim is to bring together researchers and practitioners using
sparse grids and their variants. Both theoretical and practical
aspects are highly welcome. Topics of sparse grids and their
applications range from stochastic partial differential equations to
data mining, from efficient data structures to parallelizations, from
error bounds to high-dimensional applications, from wavelets to
refinement, and much more.
Registration deadline: April 2, 2012

Basic topics: Modern numerical methods for discretization of
differential and integral equations; Applications of numerical methods
for solving problems of mathematical physics and engineering problems;
Parallel algorithms for solving systems of algebraic equations;
Optimal complexity of adaptive algorithms
The Conference will be under the aegis of the journal “Computational
Methods in Applied Mathematics” (http://www.versita.com/cmam and
http://www.cmam.info ) and focus on various aspects of mathematical
modeling and numerical methods for approximate solution of problems
arising in science and engineering. Its scope coincides with the scope
of the journal: numerical methods for initial and boundary value
problems for differential and integral equations appearing in applied
mathematics and mathematical physics.
It aims, in particular, at fostering cooperation between researchers
working in the area of theoretical numerical analysis and applications
to modeling, simulation, and scientific computing. Another goal of the
CMAM meetings is to improve existing contacts and to establish new
ones between scientists from the West and the East. This is the fifth
conference following earlier ones in Minsk in 2003, Trakai in 2005,
Minsk in 2007, and Bedlewo in 2010.

A number of postdoc positions involving (1) uncertainty quantification
and stochastic algorithms, (2) numerical optimization (constrained,
integer programming), (3) numerical analysis (FEM, Newton's method,
preconditioners), (4) software engineering (C++, FORTRAN, object
oriented design, version control, Linux), (5) high performance

Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES), at The
University of Texas at Austin. ICES (www.ices.utexas.edu) provides a
worldwide unique environment for truly interdisciplinary research.
There is opportunity for theoretical work, but the emphasis is on
practical research, using (and improving) mathematical algorithms,
parallel computing and complex software libraries to tackle very
challenging scientific and engineering problems, many of them in
collaboration with US National Laboratories and other academic
institutes, under the sponsor of various US agencies, such as DOE, NSF
and AFOSR. US Citizenship is not required.
We are looking for candidates who have a strong mathematical
background (any combination of (1), (2), and (3), but preferably (1)),
demonstrated expertise on (4), and familiarity with (5). Background on
(6) is desirable, but not mandatory. We are also looking for
candidates who are self-driven, have clear thinking, have good writing
skills, communicate themselves well, know how to breakdown complex
problems into smaller ones, and enjoy interacting with
multidisciplinary teams of mathematicians, engineers and computer
scientists.
Some positions are available immediately, while others will become
available throughout the year. Please email your application,
including a CV, to either Dr. Ernesto E. Prudencio
(prudenci@ices.utexas.edu), or Prof. Omar Ghattas
