M2PI Case Studies Virtual Seminar: Michael Lamoureux

    As an academic mathematician with a few decades of experience working with industry, the speaker has encountered many challenging problems that required the knowledge and development of a diverse collection of mathematical tools to effectively meet these challenges. This talk will present the mathematics arising in these collaborations, discussing both some technical details and why these skills might be useful to you as a young mathematician interested in an industrial career.

    The talk will include work in the oil and gas sector (mathematics of imaging, partial differential equations, inverse problems, numerical methods), psychology and acoustics (Fourier transforms, digital signal processing), smart buildings (mathematical modeling and data science) and K-12 math education (mathematical visualizations and more data science).

    There will be a few videos and animations to lighten up the gory technical details!
