Building research capacity and interface to applications in Mathematics in the Eastern Africa region

A minisymposium of this subject matter was organized at ECMI2021. A longer article by the 6 speakers is being prepared, this is an introduction and extended abstract. There are good reasons for increasing collaboration between ECMI and Africa. Apart from a few locations industrial mathematics in Africa is rare and […]

Sequential estimation of state-space model parameters

At LUT University, Finland, a recent MSc thesis studies FX trading and the 2015 Swiss Franc (CHF) de-pegging event with SMC^2 (Sequential Monte Carlo Squared) and stochastic differential equations. The event offered possibilities for triangular arbitrage with the triplet (EUR, USD, CHF). Analysis shows that biggest risk-free profits could have […]

Computational Modeling and Data Science: Workshop with Industry – Lappeenranta September 11-12, 2019

The outreach workshop was intended for fostering interaction between industrial representatives working in R&D projects and university researchers working in computational fields – broadly named as computational technology or industrial mathematics. Our wish was to attract industry representatives who are willing to present a case example, a practical problem, technical challenge, where computational […]

From data mining to railway embankment excavating

Mathematical logic emerged from the need to find out the basics and limits of exact reasoning. Mathematics is by nature unambiguous and consistent and follows the principles of classical logic. However, in the modern scientific community it has been understood that logic – in fact, different logics – has also […]

IOT based data analytics for maritime transport

Applied mathematics at Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) and Eniram Ltd are developing IOT based data analytics for maritime transport in an Academy of Finland research project. The objective is optimization of maintenance and in the future also routes through digital data collection and analysis. […]

Ensemble Kalman smoothing of algal bloom events

Algal blooms of inland and coastal waters are frequent events that should be broadcast to the general public as a warning. This is rarely done because there are few real-time monitoring systems that allow them to be detected and mapped in real time. The Finnish Environment Centre SYKE aims to […]

CFD modelling for Wind Energy development at LUT Computational Engineering

In Finland, wind energy is one potential renewable energy sources, but has not been widely exploited. Today, the interest for inland wind-farm locations is raising in Finland with several ongoing investment studies. However, inland locations mean complex terrains with hills, forests and lakes, all strongly influencing local weather and wind […]
