Isabel Beckenbach successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis on “Matchings and Flows in Hypergraphs”. Isabel is a member of the Mathematics of Transportation and Logistics Group and working in the RailLab@Research Campus MODAL on the optimization of railway vehicle rotations for the ICE high speed trains of Deutsche Bahn. Hypergraph models are convenient to deal with constraints on train composition and regularity. An algorithmic hypergraph theory is therefore needed in order to compute trip assignments and vehicle flows through large networks....Read More
This year’s status seminar of the BMBF Mathematics Program took place on 19 and 20 November at the Maritim Hotel in Bonn. Twenty-one projects in the two funding lines “Healthy Living” and “Energy Turnaround” presented their results. This year, the focus was on the application perspective. The collaborative research initiative IBOSS (Information Based Optimization of Surgery Schedules) was presented by Dr. Joachim Gerst of the Charité hospital. His lecture described the practice of surgical planning, the challenges that arise there,...Read More
Die zentrale Fragestellung des Workshops war die Identifikation von Themen und Technologien, die als Treiber für Innovationen dienen können. Hierbei lag der Focus klar auf der Verbindung von High-Performance Computing mit modernsten Algorithmen für maschinelles Lernen und Entscheidungsunterstützung bei der Verwendung komplexer Daten. Veranstaltungsort: National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Tokio, Japan Datum: 26.09.-01.10.2018 Zeit: 09:00 bis 18:00 Uhr Veranstalter: Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI) der University of Kyushu Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM) Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) Forschungscampus...Read More
