HGS MathComp - Where Methods Meet Applications

The Heidelberg Graduate School of Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences (HGS MathComp) at Heidelberg University is one of the leading graduate schools in Germany focusing on the complex topic of Scientific Computing. Located in a vibrant research environment, the school offers a structured interdisciplinary education for PhD students. The program supports students in pursuing innovative PhD projects with a strong application-oriented focus, ranging from mathematics, computer science, bio/life-sciences, physics, and chemical engineering sciences to cultural heritage. A strong focus is put on the mathematical and computational foundations: the theoretical underpinnings and computational abstraction and conception.

HGS MathComp Principal Investigators are leading experts in their fields, working on projects that combine mathematical and computational methodology with topical research issues. Individual mentoring for PhD candidates and career development programs ensure that graduates are fully equipped to take up top positions in industry and academia.

Scientific Machine Learning is a joint initiative from STRUCTURES and IWR aimed at fostering interactions within and development of the local machine learning community. Its portal summarizes the many relevant events and news from across campus that would otherwise remain scattered across single institutions or fields. The goals of the MLAI platform align with the STRUCTURES Cluster of Excellence's objective of driving research into the fundamental understanding of current and future machine learning, and with IWR’s aim to leverage machine learning to enable the solution of long-standing problems in the natural and life sciences, the engineering sciences, as well as the humanities.

Networking
Location: Mathematikon • Common Room, 5th Floor • Im Neuenheimer Feld 205 • 69120 Heidelberg
Organizer: HGS MathComp
ECTS: 0
To promote the community spirit within HGS MathComp, we have decided to host a regular get-together for all members (fellows, PIs, ...), the HGS MathComp Mixer. The next one will take place on April 29, 2024 at 12:45 in the Common Room. There will be a light lunch and beverages. The meeting will be informal and is meant for socializing and networking.

It would be great to see you at the mixer. Please feel free to share this invitation with other PhD and master students who might be interested.

See you at the HGS MathComp Mixer!
