IMod-Workshop-2024-Description

Workshop on PDEs, Spatio-Temporal Statistics, and Data-Driven Methods in Neuroscience and Fluid Mechanics

Location: Trondheim, Norway

Venue: The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters, Elvegata 17 (Google Maps)

Dates: March 12⁠–14, 2024

The IMod project aims to combine methods in statistics and partial differential equations in the setting of neuroscience and fluid mechanics. This concerns in particular data-driven and stochastic PDEs, as well as new models and methods in spatio-temporal statistics involving gaussian random fields connected to SPDEs. More generally, all steps towards combining the knowledge from the respective fields in new mathematical models are of interest.

In this workshop we invite scholars with an interest in one or all of these fields to present their work in an accessible way. The focus is on the exchange of ideas between the fields, and to present different groups that are all working towards the same goal, in different contexts and with different techniques.
