Mathematical Modeling in Industry XVII
A Workshop for Graduate Students
August 7-16, 2013
University of Minnesota

Jointly organized with the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences.

  Organizers
Richard J. Braun University of Delaware
Fadil Santosa University of Minnesota
Daniel Spim University of Minnesota

  Description

The IMA is holding a 10-day workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Industry. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced undergraduates with first hand experience in industrial research.

Selected students will be housed on the Minnesota campus and provided with per diem for meals. They will be reimbursed for travel expenses up to a limit.

Format

Students will work in teams of up to six students under the guidance of an industry mentor. The mentor will help guide the students in the modeling process, analysis, and computational work associated with a real-world industrial problem. A progress report from each team will also be scheduled during the period. In addition, each team will be expected to make an oral final presentation and submit a written report at the end of the workshop.

Projects and Industry Mentors

Five teams will participate in the workshop:

Team 1
Temporal Super-Resolution for Dynamic 3D Brain Scans with CT
Mentor: Stefan Atev, ViTAL Images, Inc.
Team 2
