Summer School
Waves and Particles in Random Media : Theory and Applications
Colorado State University, May 21-25, 2018
Scope
The school will offer an introduction to the field of waves and particles in random media in the broad sense, and will present the state-of-the-art and new directions of research. Waves and particles in random media is a domain of applied mathematics that involves a wide range of topics from various fields, for instance electromagnetics, analysis of partial differential equations, inverse problems, probability and stochastic equations. Beyond the wealth of mathematical techniques the topic involves, it also has a profound impact on many practical problems, for instance to medical and radar imaging, underwater acoustics, non-destructive testing and seismology.
Mini-courses
Guillaume Bal, University of Chicago « An introduction to periodic and stochastic homogenization »
Liliana Borcea, University of Michigan « Imaging in random media »
Mahadevan Ganesh, Colorado School of Mines « Computational wave propagation»
Lenya Ryzhik, Stanford University «Weak randomness in evolution problems»
Special presentations by Mark Ablowitz (CU Boulder, Applied Math), Venkatachalam Chandrasekaran (CSU, ECE), Margaret Cheney (CSU, Math), Randy Bartels (CSU, ECE).
Some sessions will be reserved for junior researchers to present their work.
Schedule
The program can be found here. The lectures will be held in ENGINEERING 120, aka the Hammond auditorium. A campus map is here and a map including directions from the hotels is here.
Practical informations
An easy way to get to Fort Collins from Denver International Airport is the Green Ride shuttle.
There are plenty of food options around the hotels, just walk along College avenue.
Reimbursement
Please fill CSU travel form and send it, along with your receipts (hotel for participants, all receipts for the lecturers) to Sheri Hofeling by email (shofelin@rams.colostate.edu, with the title « Summer school reimbursement »), or by regular mail
