Mark Twain once said “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education”. Pop-culture entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg seem to have lent a little credibility to Twain’s romantic notion. So did Elon Musk, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin all waste their time by […]
Read moreThe Science Foundation Ireland’s President of Ireland Future Research Leaders programme offers funding of up to €1,000,000 in direct costs for 5-years. It is designed to attract to Ireland outstanding new and emerging research leaders in both scientific and engineering domains, where candidates may have both academic and/or industry relevant backgrounds […]
Read moreHi, my name is Kevin Devine. I am a PhD researcher at MACSI in the University of Limerick (UL). I started my PhD in October 2014 following the completion of my undergraduate studies in Mathematics and Physics in UL. My research deals with modelling of the continuous casting of steel process. […]
Read moreMy name is Matthew Haynes, I am a PhD student in MACSI in the University of Limerick. My research investigates the stability of a horizontal liquid bridge. A horizontal liquid bridge is a volume of liquid suspended between two vertical walls. This suspensions is cause for a force balance between […]
Read moreMy name is David O’Sullivan and I am currently pursuing a PhD in complex contagion on clustered networks. Many systems find a natural interpretation as a complex network where nodes identify the objects of the system and the links between nodes represent the presence of a relationship or interaction between […]
Read moreArterial stents have revolutionised the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). Acting as a supporting scaffold, these small mesh devices are now routinely inserted into arteries where the blood flow has become dangerously restricted. Over the past decade, arterial stents have evolved from bare metal scaffolds to polymer coated drug-delivery […]
Read moreMy name is Kevin Moroney. I’m a PhD researcher in industrial mathematics in the MACSI group in the University of Limerick. Unlike more traditional PhD research which explores and develops a central topic in great detail, my PhD is based on a number of smaller collaborative projects of interest to […]
Read moreIn financial engineering the pricing of options and derivatives is a major field of interest. The behavior of assets is in general described via stochastic differential equations (SDEs). With the help of the Ito formula options prices can be shown to be solutions of parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Especially if option prices are […]
Read moreMy name is José Pedro Silva and I am a PhD-Student at the Applied Mathematics and Numerical Analysis Group at the University of Wuppertal together with an Early-Stage Researcher position in the ITN-Strike project. My PhD topic orbits around the use of Model Order Reduction in financial markets, with focus […]
Read moreMy name is Zuzana Nedělková and I am a PhD student in the optimization group at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg. My research project TyreOpt – Fuel consumption reduction by tyre drag optimization financed by the Swedish Energy Agency is done in cooperation with […]
