4TH OF DECEMBERÌý2024ÌýAT KARLSTAD UNIVERSITY

Aim

Companies propose scientific challenges to mathematicians, i.e. problemsÌýinvolvingÌýrelevant unsolvedÌýÌýtechnological or societal issues in search for a suitable solution.ÌýThe expected outcome includes: solutions to the posed problems, training of all participants, opportunities for further collaboration.

PROBLEMS 2024

• Problem 1ÌýPropagation of statistical effects to mechanical material modelsÌý(tesa SE, Germany)
• Problem 2 Radiological priotization problemÌý(Region Värmland)
• Problem 3 Unveiling pulp charactersitics from fiber and process dataÌý(Rottneros AB)
• Problem 4ÌýHeat expansion in multicavity toolsÌý(Blue Ocean Closures AB)

  Approach

During the MIMM® day, teams will be formed to attack the industrial problems. Each team will be composed of mathematicians with very different levels of seniority, i.e. senior researchers (1), doctoral students (1-3), university students (2-3) and upper secondary students (2-3). The problem owners from the companies will also join the teams. The working language will be English.

Senior researchers, doctoral and university students enrolled in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at KAU have priority in registering to the event. However, the participation is open to all scientists or university students from KAU or from elsewhere in Sweden. Ìý

Upper secondary pupils studying science or technical programs, or another comparable direction in a Swedish school, are welcome to join. Participants must be creative and show interest in mathematics. Please write a brief motivation letter and explain why you want to take part in the MIMM® day. A short recommendation letter from a mentor or a teacher in mathematics, physics or technics is appreciated.
