The 2nd Frontiers in Computational Physics Conference: Energy Sciences will take place June 3-5 in Zurich. Computation plays an essential role in Energy Sciences with imaging, data analysis and simulation for applications ranging from nuclear to solar and wind energy. We envision that computational methods in areas of multi-scale/multi-physics modeling and uncertainty quantification will help […]

PASC15 Conference provides an opportunity for scientists and practitioners to discuss key issues in the use of High Performance Computing (HPC) in branches of science that require computer modelling and simulations. The scientific program will offer four invited plenary presentations; one public lecture with Nobel Prize in Economics in 2011 Thomas Sargent; 126 minisymposium presentations, and up to 21 contributed […]

Delayed dynamical systems in engineering: where the rubber meets the road April 27, 2015 from 2:15 p.m. in HG F 30 (aperitif after the lecture) Prof. Gabor Stepan Budapest University of Technology and Economics Abstract: Delay differential equations have an increasing share in mathematical models of engineering since some relevant problems of control theory, mechanical-, […]

Capturing Enzyme Evolution in silico May 13, 2015 from 2:00 p.m. in KOL-G-201 UZH Aula (aperitif after the lecture) Prof. Dame Janet M. Thornton Director EMBL-EBI Abstract: Enzyme activity is essential for almost all aspects of life.  With completely sequenced genomes, the full complement of enzymes in an organism can be defined, and 3D structures […]

Prof. Petros Koumoutsakos has been elected as a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) for pioneering work in numerical methods, high-performance computing, multiscale modeling, computational fluid dynamics, and computational biology.

We congratulate Dr. Jie Chen for his Professorship at Tongji University in Shanghai. This is the culmination of two years of hard and ingenious work by Jie and a very proud moment for this lab.

We congratulate our Master student Simon Silvio Tödtli for his admission in the PhD program at Aureonautics in Caltech!

The life of a vortex knot: Linking coiling and twisting across scales April 20, 2015 from 2:15 p.m. in HG F 30 (aperitif after the lecture) Prof. William T. M. Irvine University of Chicago Abstract: Can you take a vortex loop – akin to a smoke ring in air – and tie it into a […]

Multilevel Monte Carlo Methods Wednesday, Feb.25, 2015, 17:15, ML E 12, ETH Zurich (an apero will follow at approx. 18:15) Prof. Mike Giles Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford Abstract Multilevel Monte Carlo methods, developed independently by Stefan Heinrich and Mike Giles in different stochastic contexts, can be viewed as a hierarchical control variate approach to […]
