Springer published the book Advanced Computational Applications of Geometric Algebra, which is part of the International Conference on Geometric Algebra that we organized and was sponsored by Algemetric. I'm glad to see this work done available for everyone. Many thanks to Dr. Eckhard Hitzer and Dr. Dietmar Hildenbrand for their outstanding work and support, all the authors who contributed to this volume with their research, and everyone in the organization and committees who worked extra hard to enable this conference and now this book. Cheers! https://lnkd.in/g_pGxSki

I am excited to share two new papers out on ArXiv as part of my PhD in mathematics at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt! They both address mathematical aspects of nonlocal gradients, which are generalizations of ordinary derivatives  with different properties that can be useful for models in materials science.  I am now entering the final stages of my PhD in Germany, which I will finish during the summer, and I would be interested to pursue a postdoc in mathematics (Partial Differential Equations, Calculus of Variations) afterwards.

My second Ph.D. student, Jun Liu defended his dissertation at the Department of Mathematics at Technische Universität Darmstadt yesterday, on the topic "Unstructured finite volume methods for two-phase flows with high-density ratios" with Magna cum laude. You can read about what we worked on in open-access papers linked below. Publicly accessible OpenFOAM repositories are cited in the papers, if anyone want's to try our ideas directly. I'm very proud of and happy for Jun, and I'm looking forward to him staying one more year as a postdoc in my group. When someone defends a dissertation, we build a Ph.D. hat, that has some puzzles on it related to the topic of the Ph.D., sometimes figuring them out is as difficult as answering questions asked during the defense. :) If you're bored, have a go at it, and try to guess the meaning of the parts on the hat in the comments. Beer captain and the cards have nothing to do with science. :) https://lnkd.in/egGwhiwa https://lnkd.in/erx_T8Uz

🌟 Meet Yazmin Martinez 🌟 Yazmin, who is pursuing her Ph.D. in computer science at #UNLVEngineering, has been selected as the 2023 Student of the Year in the Doctorate Category by the Pacific Southwest Region (PSR) University Transportation Center. Yazmin's research focuses on creating and applying new machine learning algorithms as well as traditional computer science algorithmic methods to address congestion at traffic signals in the Las Vegas Valley. Dr. Wolfgang Bein currently advises Yazmin at the UNLV Center for Information Technology and Algorithms (CITA). She'll present her preliminary findings and receive her award at the 2024 PSR Congress, hosted at UNLV, next week. Well done, Yazmin! 👏

Today is International Left Handers Day! As we approach the start of a new school year, let's make sure that our learning spaces are welcoming and accessible to our left-handed students. Do your classrooms have left-handed desks in them? Are they distributed evenly throughout the room? Are your lab stations set up so that the experiments can be performed with equal ease by either left-handed or right-handed students? These things can encourage a student to take better notes in class and stay engaged in lab activities. And you never know when the next Isaac Newton or Alan Turing or Marie Curie will show up in your class!

1993 #ACMTuringAward recipient Juris Hartmanis was born on this day in 1928. Hartmanis and Richard E. Stearns received the award together in recognition of their seminal paper which established the foundations for the field of computational complexity theory. They introduced a concept called a computational complexity class. Informally, a class represents all the computations that can be done using a given amount of resources. Hartmanis’ work on the foundations of complexity theory was instrumental in establishing computer science as a formal discipline distinct from mathematics, physics and electrical engineering. Watch Hartmanis discuss computational complexity classes here: https://bit.ly/45fixhW Let’s remember him #OTD

“Applied Mathematics in Ferroelectricity and Piezoelectricity” by Kenji Unchino was written to bridge the gap between the knowledge gleaned from the internet by students and the first-hand analytical knowledge they demonstrated in the classroom. In this interview, we sit down with Uchino to discuss his Open Access Monograph, simplicity in physics, “Google Syndrome”, and advice for future students using the internet for research. 👇 https://brnw.ch/21wL6mI

I'm proud to have another personal achievement presenting my paper in the beautiful gothic-style Aula Magna Silvio Trentin at Università Ca' Foscari in Venice. My paper about Improving Object Detection on Low-Quality Images was successfully presented at the S+SSPR (Syntactic and Structural Pattern Recognition) international conference on 10 September 2024. I can't wait to have it published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), a distinguished scientific publication by Springer since 1973. #computervision
