Subject: Input welcome for dynamic X-ray CT data collection

In a starting project on dynamic X-ray CT, we will collect and publish a big
collection of 2D and 3D X-ray data that allows to evaluate and benchmark
dynamic image reconstruction techniques (similar to what we did for 2D static CT:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-023-02484-6). The collection should
include data from phantoms that allow to do “stop-motion”-style acquisitions
(which has the advantage that for every time step, a full data set is available to
compute a ground-truth reconstruction) as well as data from real dynamic
objects (i.e., no static ground truth can be obtained). We will start with simple
dynamics (e.g., affine transformations of simple objects) and work our way up to
complex dynamics (e.g., elastic deformations, crack/crystal formation, fluid
dynamics).

In order to design the experiments and to collect data that is as useful as possible
for the imaging community, we welcome any input on which type of data you
would find useful for your own work. Just drop me an email!

Subject: New Book, Nonlocal Integral Equation Continuum Models: Nonstandard Interaction Neighborhoods and Finite Element Discretizations

Nonlocal Integral Equation Continuum Models: Nonstandard Interaction
Neighborhoods and Finite Element Discretizations by Marta D'Elia, Max
Gunzburger, and Christian Vollmann

The book presents the state of the art of nonlocal modeling and discretization
and provides a practical introduction to nonlocal modeling for readers who are
not familiar with such models. These models have recently become a viable
alternative to classical partial differential equations when the latter are unable to
capture effects such as discontinuities and multiscale behavior in a system of
interest. Because of their integral nature, nonlocal operators allow for the
relaxation of regularity requirements on the solution and thus allow for the
capture of multiscale effects, the result of which is their successful use in many
scientific and engineering applications.

The book also provides a thorough analysis and numerical treatment of
nonstandard nonlocal models, focusing on both well-known and nonstandard
interaction neighborhoods. In addition, the book de-livers an extensive practical
treatment of the implementation of discretization strategies via finite element
methods. Numerous figures are provided as concrete examples to illustrate both
the analytic and computational results.

Subject: New Book, Uncertainty Quantification: Theory, Implementation, and Applications, Second Edition

Uncertainty Quantification: Theory, Implementation, and Applications, Second
Edition by Ralph C. Smith

Uncertainty quantification serves a fundamental role when establishing the
predictive capabilities of simulation models. This book provides a comprehensive
and unified treatment of the mathematical, statistical, and computational theory
and methods employed to quantify uncertainties associated with models from a
wide range of physical, biological, and engineering applications. Concepts are
motivated and illustrated by a large set of examples.

This second edition has been significantly revised and expanded to include
advances in the field and to provide a comprehensive sensitivity analysis and
uncertainty quantification framework for models from science and engineering.
Reorganized into five parts, the book covers applications and models; concepts
from probability and statistics; parameter identifiability, sensitivity analysis, and
active subspace techniques; parameter inference, uncertainty propagation, and
model discrepancy; and construction of surrogate and reduced-order models.

Subject: The 14th AIMS Conference, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Dec 2024

New York University Abu Dhabi with support from ADIA Lab will be hosting
the 14th AIMS Conference in Abu Dhabi on 16–20 December.
https://www.aimsconference.org/conferences/2024/index.html
It is the first time that a conference of this mathematical amplitude is brought
to this region of the world. The privileged location of Abu Dhabi provides us
with a unique opportunity to host a truly global scientific forum, welcoming
colleagues from all continents.

The AIMS Conference is of the highest caliber and has a history close to 30
years, during which it has grown to become the largest international
conference in mathematical analysis and applications/modeling. We currently
have over 1700 registered scientists and mathematicians, from all over the
world, who intend to participate in the conference.

We have recently extended the deadline for early-bird registrations to 2
October. We hope that this will give you the opportunity to benefit from the
reduced registration rate. In particular, you can still submit proposals to host
your own Special Session on a subject of your choice. It is also possible to
submit abstracts into existing Special Sessions, or as contributed talks.

Note that the conference covers a wide array of scientific subjects and
welcomes contributions from all fields.

I hope that you will consider your participation in the conference, and
possibly organizing a Special Session.

Please feel free to spread the word and make sure to share this information
within your network.

emitters. The basic theoretical model used for the simulation and analysis of
PCSELs is given by a system of PDEs defined in 1 (temporal) and 2 (spatial)
dimensions. For more advanced modeling, it will be necessary to consider
the selected model components in all three spatial dimensions. It is expected
that under the supervision of the experts from WIAS and FBH, the researcher

Date: September 15, 2024
Subject: PhD Position, Computational Mathematics, Univ of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy

We are offering a PhD position focusing on the development of fast, parallel
matrix solvers to tackle the computational challenges in thermonuclear fusion
simulations. Fusion energy holds the promise of clean, sustainable energy, but
modeling plasma behavior inside reactors such as Tokamaks requires solving
highly complex and large-scale mathematical problems. Our project aims to
significantly improve the efficiency of these simulations by advancing state-of-
the-art computational techniques.

The successful candidate will work on designing novel matrix solvers optimized
for parallel computing architectures (e.g., multi-core CPUs, GPUs) using MPI and
CUDA libraries. The project will also explore machine learning (ML) methods to
speed up specific operations in these solvers, such as preconditioning and matrix
compression, helping reduce computational time and memory usage. While the
focus is on thermonuclear fusion energy, the solvers developed during this PhD
can be applied to other fields such as computational electromagnetics and
acoustics.

We are looking for candidates with a strong background in numerical methods,
high-performance computing, and a keen interest in applying machine learning
to scientific computing challenges. Previous experience with parallel
programming (MPI, CUDA) is highly desirable.
