First Announcement of Application for Summer Workshop in Advanced Research in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computing at Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China

The Third Summer Workshop on Advanced Research in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computing 2015 (ARAMSC-2015) will be held from July 1st, 2015 to August 30th, 2015 (dates subject to change) at the School of Mathematical Sciences of Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China.

Following previous workshops, we will apply state-of-art numerical algorithms for solving nonlinear system of partial differential equations(PDEs) and will review research of current topics in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, parallel computing, computational fluid dynamics,oceanography,electromagnetics and detonation. Participants will be tasked to research a problem by studying relevant literature, to implement appropriate state-of-art algorithms in problem solving, and, at the end of the Workshop, to present their research results and, for those with excellent original research, to write and submit a paper to an international scientific journal.  During the Workshop, faculty mentors will be available for individual consultations and group discussions will be held often to ensure steady progress in each individual participant’s research.  Intellectual collaboration and teamwork is strongly encouraged.  The participants will have an opportunity to interact with outside experts, who will be invited to give seminars on the current trend in research in the field of applied mathematics.

We are inviting qualified, motivated applicants to apply for the Workshop. We are seeking junior faculty, outstanding graduate students and exceptional undergraduate students who are interested in interdisciplinary research in applied mathematics and scientific computing.  Applicants are also invited to submit a research proposal if they have a particular area of research they would like to pursue.  Prior experience in high level programming, such as FORTRAN, C and Matlab in the solution of partial differential equations is preferred.  A tutorial in object oriented programming with Fortran95 in a Linux OS will be given at the beginning of the Workshop.  The pace of Workshop is intensive with daily progress briefing and discussions.  A full commitment of efforts and time by the participants throughout the Workshop is strongly expected.

If admitted, dormitory accommodation during the Workshop and a stipend for local expenses will be provided to the participants.A merit scholarship will be awarded to the participants who have completed the Workshop with excellent results.  Only a limited number of positions are available for qualified applicants.  If interested, please submit a CV, transcripts,research proposal if any, and two letters of recommendation to Prof. Gao Zhen by email before April 12th, 2015 for full consideration.

If you have any questions regarding the Workshop, please feel free to contact the Workshop organizers. If you like to talk to former participants about their past summer research experiences, you can contact Mr. Li Peng (weilailp@163.com) and Mr. Jia Felin (jiafeilin1990@gmail.com).
