PSW at MBI: Day 1

July 19, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

Got off the plane (ok technically it’s the night of Day 0) and had my first taste of Ohio. I’ve included a couple shots of the display that met me in the lobby. Day 1 starts with an 8:15am bus ride in a bus labelled Nth degree transportation which was mildly amusing. The first thing to … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 1

PSW at MBI: Day 0

July 15, 2012July 15, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

What I’m going to do for this week is to give a running dialog of what it is like to travel around to a mathematical workshop and do research level mathematics with colleagues from around the world. For this first foray under the hood of these activities (at least described here) the first day is … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 0

Industrial Problem-Solving Workshop on Medical Imaging

June 26, 2012June 13, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

Industrial Problem-Solving Workshop on Medical Imaging Date: August 20-24, 2012 Location: Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences This 5-day workshop will follow the very successful format of previous Fields-MITACS Industrial Problem-Solving Workshops. Some of the problems to be discussed will be ones generated during the Connector Events at the Inaugural Conference and at the Workshop on … Read moreIndustrial Problem-Solving Workshop on Medical Imaging

Student refines 100-year-old math problem, expanding wind energy possibilities February 26, 2025

An engineering student refined a century-old math problem into a simpler, more elegant form, making it easier to use and explore. Divya Tyagi's work expands research in aerodynamics, unlocking new possibilities in wind turbine design that Hermann Glauert, a British aerodynamicist and the original author, did not consider.

Simulating scientists: New tool for AI-powered scientific discovery February 26, 2025

Researchers have developed a generative AI tool that mimics scientists to support and speed up the process of scientific discoveries.

What can theoretical physics teach us about knitting? February 26, 2025

Physicists bring unprecedented levels of predictability to the ancient practice of knitting by developing a mathematical model that could be used to create a new class of lightweight, ultra-strong materials.

Like human brains, large language models reason about diverse data in a general way February 19, 2025

Researchers find large language models process diverse types of data, like different languages, audio inputs, images, etc., similarly to how humans reason about complex problems. Like humans, LLMs integrate data inputs across modalities in a central hub that processes data in an input-type-agnostic fashion.

The molecular Einstein: One molecule, endless patterns February 13, 2025

Is it possible to tile a surface with a single shape in such a way that the pattern never repeats itself? In 2022, a mathematical solution to this 'Einstein problem' was discovered for the first time. Researchers have now also found a chemical solution: a molecule that arranges itself into complex, non-repeating patterns on a […]
