We encourage those who have already registered to re-register using the new google form. We apologies for any inconvenience. If you have any enquiries please send an email to MoCaO@austms.org.au. Please check the website prior to the lectures for last minute information or announcements.

 July 11-15, 2022

 We are pleased to announce the inaugural 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.

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.

Workshop on the Intersections of Computation and Optimisations – WICO: second announcement. 

Workshop on the Intersections of Computation and Optimisations – WICO 

MoCaO (Mathematics of Computation and Optimisation) is planning a new workshop on the 22nd to the 25th of November 2021, which is sponsored by the ANU, UNSW and AMSI.

This workshop intends to bring together researchers from the areas of computation, optimisation, computing sciences and engineering interested in the cross- fertilization of ideas around the interfaces of computational mathematics and optimisation:

Workshop Format

The workshop will be held online using Zoom and Spatial Chat (for formal and informal interactions). Depending on COVID restrictions, we may also have some hybrid participation via live gatherings at some regional locations (including the mathematics department at the ANU in Canberra). Further announcement will be made closer to the event.

Keynotes Speakers:

Some keynotes may present in person (streamed online) and others will engage totally online in a remote format. In addition to their keynote presentations, keynotes who will be invited to give an informal discussion session post presentation.

Prof Gerlind Plonka-Hoch (University of Goettingen, Germany)

Prof. Frances Kuo (UNSW)

Prof Stefan Wild (Argonne, USA)

Prof Stephen Wright (Wisconsin, USA) 

Prof. Ian Turner (QUT)

Prof. Claudia Sagastizabal (IMECC-Unicamp and CEMEAI, Brazil)

Prof Martin Berggren (Umeå University, Sweden)

Important dates:

Registration is Free and Now Open: ANU WICO event page

Workshop Dates: 22/11/2021 to 25/11/2021

Future Announcements and Grants:

We also wish to draw female participants attention to the possibility of applying for the WIMSIG Cheryl E. Praeger Travel Award (support for attending conferences/visiting collaborators) and/or the WIMSIG Anne Penfold Street Awards (support for caring responsibilities while attending conferences/visiting collaborators).
