Subject: 17th AIMMS-MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition
The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) at Lehigh
University is thrilled to announce the opening of the 17th AIMMS-MOPTA
Optimization Modeling Competition. The competition results from a
collaboration between AIMMS and the organizers of the MOPTA 2025
conference, which will take place in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal,
from June 17 - 20, 2025.
The solution submission deadline has been extended to April 1, 2025,
23:59 Eastern Time. Information on registration, submission,
eligibility, and competition format are posted on the competition
website at coral.ise.lehigh.edu/mopta2025/competition. Below, we
provide an overview.
This year's challenge: The goal of the competition this year is to
analyze a Transavia Aircrew Scheduling problem. The problem
description is posted on the competition website.
Registration: Teams must register for the competition as soon as they
start working on the problem.
Eligibility: Teams of at most three students can participate and
should list a faculty advisor. The team leader must be a graduate
student, though the other team members can be advanced undergraduate
students. Each team member must be registered as a full-time student
at a recognized educational institution during the Spring term of the
2024-2025 Academic Year. Teams from all over the world can
participate, as long as at least one team member can come to the
conference, should the team make it to the final round. The official
language of the competition is English.
Prizes: The top three teams will be invited to present (in person) to
a panel of judges at the MOPTA 2025 conference, including
representatives from both the conference organizing committee and
AIMMS. Each finalist team will receive free registration for the
conference for up to two team members. The prizes will be awarded as
follows:

Subject: Conference AMiTaNS'25, Jun 2025
The Euro-American Consortium for Promotion of the Application of
Mathematics in Technical and Natural Sciences is pleased to announce
its Seventheenth Conference AMiTaNS'25 to be held in the 5-star
Flamingo Grand hotel in Albena, which is one of the top level vacation
resorts in the Northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Albena Complex as a
village of excellent resort hotels from three to five stars. It is
situated close to the big city of Varna, which is an international
hub.
The conference will be scheduled in plenary and keynote lectures
followed by special and contributed sessions. The accents of the
conference will be on Mathematical Physics, Solitons and Transport
Processes, Numerical Methods and Scientific Computing, Continuum
Mechanics, Applied Analysis, Biomathematics, Applications of
E-learning and Machine Learning in Technical and Natural Sciences,
which can be complemented by some specific topics in contributed
special sessions. If you are interested in attending AMiTaNS'25
please prepare a short abstract within 300 words clearly stating the
goal, tools, fill out the online Application form. Though the formal
deadline for submissions is March 31, 2025, late submissions will be
accepted after that date. You can find detailed information on the
Conference website http://2025.eac4amitans.eu

Date: February 08, 2025
Subject: PhD position in Statistics at Universita della Svizzera Italiana, Switzerland
We invite applications for a fully-funded Ph.D. position focusing on
conducting research in the field of spatio-temporal Hawkes
processes. Hawkes processes are a class of point processes that have
been widely used to model event data and point patterns in various
domains such as finance, epidemiology, social network analysis, and
neuroscience. The focus of this project is to advance the theoretical
understanding of spatio-temporal and nonstationary Hawkes processes,
develop novel nonparametric methodologies and algorithms, and explore
innovative applications of such processes to real-world problems.
The future student will be enrolled in the Ph.D. program in
Computational Science at USI, supervised by Prof. Deborah Sulem and
co-supervised by Prof. Xenia Miscouridou (University of Cyprus and
Imperial College London).
Candidates are requested to submit the following documents to
Prof. Deborah Sulem (deborah.sulem@usi.ch) and Prof. Xenia Miscouridou
(miscouridou.xenia@ucy.ac.cy):
• a detailed CV highlighting relevant academic and research experience
• a motivation letter (max 2 pages) outlining research interests,
relevant experience, and how they align with this project. Please
mention any prior experience with point process models, Bayesian
methodology or nonparametric methods
• academic transcripts of prior degrees.
• contact information of two academic referees
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview. For further
details, please contact Deborah Sulem (deborah.sulem@usi.ch).
