WOMBAT 2022 Registration now open

Registration is now open for the next Workshop on Optimisation, Metric Bounds, Approximation and Transversality (WoMBaT2022). The event will be held 13–15 (+16) December 2022 in beautiful Perth, Western Australia. Support for students and carers is also available, and applications are open for that as well.

This iteration of wombat will be hosted at Curtin University by Curtin Centre for Optimisation and Decision Science. The event is expected to take place as an entirely in-person event.

In addition, this year WOMBAT in collaboration with ARC Training Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science, will host a special day (16th December 2022) focused on the applications of optimization on planning and scheduling maintenance in the resource industry. We are very excited for this special event!

Register now! We look forward to welcoming you to Perth!

MoCaO Lectures: Data Science

July 11-15, 2022

The MoCaO Lectures in Computation and Optimisation for 2022 we are focusing on Data science and in particular machine learning, its algorithms, mathematical foundations and applications. These lectures are designed to be accessible to novices to the field who have a mathematics and computational background, such as PhD students, postdoc and/or inquisitive academics who wish to have a better understanding of recent advances in this dynamic field. These lectures will be given online via Zoom. Please read the notice below regarding the registration.


Speakers:

Prof. Stephen Wright: is the George B. Dantzig Professor of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is a past chair of the Mathematical Optimization Society and a SIAM Fellow. Currently he directs the Institute for Foundations of Data Science at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Steve is a world-renowned expert in optimization and the author of several highly cited books in this field.

Prof. Guoyin Li: is a professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University of New South Wales. He was awarded an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (for mid-career researchers) during 2014-2018. His research interests include optimisation, variational analysis, machine learning and tensor computations.

Dr. Quoc Thong Le Gia: is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, UNSW, Sydney. His research interests include Numerical Analysis, Approximation Theory; Partial Differential Equations; Machine Learning and Stochastic Processes.


Dates:
The 11th , 12th and 13th of July 12noon-1pm: Speaker Prof Stephen Wright
The 14th July 12noon-1pm: Speaker Dr. Quoc Thong Le Gia
The 15th July 12.30pm-2pm: Prof. Guoyin Li
