Subject: Forming SIAM Activity Group on Data Mining and Analytics

Dear colleagues,

I am helping to form a SIAM Activity Group on Data Mining and
Analytics. A final step in that process is surveying both SIAM members
and non-members in order to determine their level of interest. To that
purpose, I've set up a very short survey here:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=3DdHdlWUVXc3pwdHRfWGxjczZ6=
QzVFaUE6MQ

If you have any interest in this topic, please complete the survey
because it will enable us to make a strong case to SIAM. Please
forward this request to any others who may be interested.

Thanks in advance for your input!!

Best wishes,
Tammy

Subject: Workshop, Challenges in Climate Modelling, Sweden, May 2011

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (CIM) at Uppsala
University organizes a two day workshop on mathematical challenges
in climate research. The aim of the workshop is to bring together
applied mathematicians and climate researchers, and stimulate
interdisciplinary collaboration. Experts from various climate-related
fields with a strong mathematical background have been invited to
discuss topics such as dynamical systems, uncertainty and inverse
problems.

Subject: Workshop, Sparse Grids and Applications, Germany, May 2011

Workshop on Sparse Grids and Applications

The workshop will be held in the week of May 16 - 20, 2011 in Bonn,
Germany. It is part of the Trimester Program on Analysis and Numerics
for High Dimensional Problems at the Hausdorff Research Institute for
Mathematics (HIM).

Please visit
http://www.him.uni-bonn.de/high-dimensional-problems-workshop1
and
http://www.him.uni-bonn.de/high-dimensional-problems
for more information.

In the recent decade, there has been growing interest in the numerical
treatment of high-dimensional problems with sparse grids. Sparse grids
are based on a multi-scale approach which are obtained from univariate
multi-scale bases by tensor product constructions. Under suitable
regularity assumptions sparse grids allow to overcome the curse of
dimension to a certain extent.

Nowadays, sparse grids are employed in various areas. The applications
include partial differential equations, data mining, integral
equations, numerical quadrature, stochastic partial differential
equations, and numerical finance, but are not restricted to these
topics.

The workshop aims to bring together interested researchers in sparse
grids and related areas.

Subject: Positions in Computational Methods, HyPerComp, Inc.

HyPerComp, a small company in Southern California, is primarily
engaged in creating, validating, and distributing software for the
large-scale simulation of physical phenomena and processes that are
governed by systems of partial differential equations. These include
all regimes of fluid flow and electromagnetic wave propagation in
complex geometries, and the simulations share a basic need for
high-order accuracy in the computed unknowns. Our codes TEMPUS (for
time-domain electromagnetics) and HIMAG (for high Hartmann number MHD)
are well-known within their respective applied research communities.
We also have significant programs underway in advanced grid generation
for high-fidelity modeling of complex geometries.

Currently, the work is funded through small-business independent
research and technology transfer (SBIR/STTR) contracts, as well as
subcontracts from major aerospace corporations. Longer-term, we plan
to market a general high-order solver and its associated libraries,
gridding tools, and parallel implementations (including GPU/CPU
clusters). We are in the early stages of implementing reduced-basis
methods and uncertainty quantification techniques to minimize the
number of high-order simulations required by a given application, and
we are working on related projects with applied mathematicians at
various universities.

The open positions involve considerable responsibilities for
developing efficient and scalable software implementations in
collaboration with our current staff. We are presently seeking
candidates with all levels of research experience. U.S. Permanent
resident status or citizenship is required.

General requirements:
* Graduate degree in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or
related field.
* Strong background in numerical methods applied to PDEs (high-order
accurate methods a plus).
* Good programming skills (Knowledge of MPI and OpenCL a plus).
* Ability to communicate well and work in a team environment with
internal and external collaborators.
* Familiarity with fluid mechanics/electromagnetics.
* Familiarity with grid generation.

In addition, it will be necessary for the candidate to be involved
with one or more of the following activities:
* Participate in the mathematical formulation and code development of a
high-order accurate multi-physical CPU/GPU based solver.
* Write proposals, reports, and peer-reviewed technical papers.
* Develop new initiatives and attract funded programs in general areas
of scientific computing and modeling.
* Participate in the ongoing development of CFD/CEM solvers as well as
grid generation.
* Possibility to integrate different physics based simulation software
and develop user interfaces.

Subject: Ph.D. Opening, Comp Eng and Science, McMaster

The proposed PhD research project will be to develop a new
computational engine for the prediction of the thermal margins in a
nuclear power plant. It will utilize the state-of-the-art software,
programing tools and data structures coupled to the most advanced and
robust solution algorithms. The initial task will be to develop a
completely modular computer algorithm, input data structure and I/O.
The next step will be to place this code as opensource to allow for
independent development, validation, and testing by researchers around
the world.

The fundamental aspect of the project will be to develop a solution
algorithm for the coupled mass, momentum and energy equations for
multi-phase fluid flow in "node-link" type of arrangement. An
important consideration is how to modularize the interfacial exchange
of these quantities, since these relationships will likely be one of
the most ongoing areas of development. Starting with a homogeneous
mixture model, the student will develop the algorithm such that it can
solve the equations in an efficient and robust manner. Several
solution algorithms may be proposed and tested.

The duration of the project will be 4 years with the start date of
September 1, 2011. The student will be enrolled in McMaster's School
of Computational Engineering and Science (CES) and will be supervised
by faculty from Nuclear Engineering and other Departments
participating in the CES program. Information about the CES program,
including relevant application procedures is available at the
following web address:

The deadline for applications is June 1, 2011. Inquiries about the
project should be directed to Dr. David Novog <novog@mcmaster.ca>.
