João Leal is a full professor at the University of Agder, Norway. His research interests are focused on the laboratory and numerical investigation of turbulent open-channel flows.
Abstract
The course addresses theoretical aspects of characterization of turbulence in compound channel flows and on CFD modelling of such flows, especially when the floodplain is covered with vegetation. Solutions of RANS equations coupled with a porous media approach - volume-averaged conservation equations are presented. The treatment of free flow/porous media interface is given especial attention. Specific parameters of the closure equations for dispersive terms associated to porous media modelling are discussed. Case studies are presented and discussed.
PT-MATHS-IN, the Portuguese Network for Industry and Innovation presents
Big Data | Mathematics in Industry 4.0. Challenges and opportunities
In this conference this subject will be approached in a broadband manner, taking special interest at new insights in what the future may bring concerning the so called Industry 4.0 and related challenges, including regulation and privacy concerns.
This conference in Big Data serves as a launching event of the PT-MATHS-IN, the Portuguese Network for Mathematics in Industry and Innovation, which is the Portuguese representative of the European Service Network of Mathematics for Industry and Innovation (EU-MATHS-IN), whose goal is to leverage the impact of Mathematics in Industry, promoting information exchange and developing partnerships between these two groups. EU-MATHS-IN is now a European network of 14 countries national consortiums.
Anton Zeilinger (University of Vienna & Austrian Academy of Sciences)
Biography
Anton Zeilinger is a pioneer in the fields of quantum information, quantum computation and quantum communications, as well as in the study of the foundations of quantum mechanics. He was the first to realize many important quantum information protocols, including the famous quantum teleportation experiment. In 2005, Anton Zeilinger was elected one of the “10 people who could change the world”. Most recently, his experiments were amongst those proving definitely the non-local character of quantum physics. Currently he is professor of Physics at the University of Vienna, and president of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
Abstract
Quantum physics provides famous puzzles. These include Schroedinger's cat, Einstein’s spooky action at a distance and quantum randomness (viz. Einstein's comment that God does not play dice). To date, the fundamental concepts, demonstrated by these puzzles, became the basis for the emerging quantum information technology. It includes quantum teleportation, and quantum computation. The future quantum internet will combine these ideas. It will consist of quantum computers connected by quantum links carrying photons. From a fundamental point of view, these experiments have sharpened our basic questions about the nature of quantum systems.
Conference to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Peter J. Cameron.
The conference will have a satellite workshop on Symmetry in Finite and Infinite Structures that will be held on the 28th July. All participants of the Cameron’s Conference are automatically entitled to this event. The workshop will have an in-depth presentation of Babai’s graph isomorphism theorem. There will be also slots on semigroups | groups and combinatorics | logic | statistics.
The main topic for this edition will be Mathematical and Computational Models in Cancer Research.
Main Speakers
