August 29 - September 06, 2022

 

International Summer school, August 29 - September 02

The Summer school will propose, from Monday August 29 until Friday September 02, five lectures of 4 hours each, plus one of 2 hours, by Yannis Papaharilaou, on different aspects of mathematical biology, given by lecturers specialists of their fields:

• Klemens Fellner, University of Graz, Austria: Reaction-diffusion equations with applications to biological dynamical processes
• Marek Kimmel, Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA: Tracing evolution of cancer based on molecular-level measurements
• Sylvie Méléard, École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France: Interplay between scales for eco-evolutionary mathematical models: from stochastic to PDEs
• Yannis Papaharilaou, IACM, FORTH: Computational Modelling of Blood Flow in the Human Cardiovascular System
• Benoît Perthame, Sorbonne Université, Paris, France: Structured equations and Monge-Kantorovich distance
• Emmanuel Trélat, Sorbonne Université, Paris, France: Topics in optimal control with applications in biology

You can apply for the Summer School by June 30, 2022 by completing the Registration_Form .

The targeted audience are PhD students in mathematics and young or confirmed mathematicians. The number of participants to the school will be limited to 35-40 (see the Deadlines for registration and fees). Participation of PhD students coming from regional universities (i.e., of the neighbouring Mediterranean region, e.g., Greek, Turkish, Israeli, etc.) is encouraged, but by no means exclusive. Support for travelling expenses may further be asked from supporting institutions such as EMS, ESMTB, or others, but cannot be taken in charge by the organising Committee.

The school lectures will be given at FORTH during the days Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday until 6 p.m. will be reserved for a excursion to archeological sites of the island and close-by beaches, or other sites of interest. Note that the celebrated Knossos archeological site is quite close to Heraklion and can easily reached by bus from the centre from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. every day in Summer, so that the free whole day excursion on Wednesday might be proposed to interested participants to some other sites of interest on the island (to be made more precise later).
