Past Events

For large oil and gas heterogeneous fields, vast amounts of seismic, geologic and dynamic reservoir data yield high-resolution geological models. These models involve mega (million) to giga (billion) grid block cells. Recent advances in the...

In the past three decades the field of Computer Graphics has experienced a revolution, benefiting from significant research and technical achievements. Creating detailed digital content is a major task in the Game, Film, and CAD industries, and...

Exploration and Production (E&P) of oil/gas involve economically valuable but complex tasks. They comprise workflows with pipelined processes and inter-related disciplines (e.g. Geophysics, Geology, Reservoir and Production Engineering, Business and...

When computing numerical approximations to problems with smooth solutions using regular grids, the error can have additional structure. The historical example of the Euler-McLaurin formula for the approximation of integrals with the trapezoidal rule...

Mathematical models can help us understand the formation of complex spatial patterns, including the territories of wolves and coyotes. Here scent marks provide important cues regarding the use of space. In this talk I will show how biologically-based...

What do designing a hybrid vehicle engine, a microscopic description of the fission process, a groundwater remediation plan, a fast code on a modern supercomputer, and an experimental X-ray beam have in common?All are examples of challenging...

The University of Calgary has been an international leader in developing experiments that involve imaging the aurora. At present, UofC has more than 50 instruments deployed across the Canadian Arctic. This network takes images and other measurements...

The electrophysiology in a cardiac cell can be modelled as a system of ordinary differential equations. The efficient solution of these systems is important because they must be solved billions of times as sub-problems of organ-level simulations. The...

Humankind's fascination with the mathematical constant pi goes well beyond practical need. In fact, even though over five trillion decimal places of pi has been calculated, a mere four decimal places are sufficient for the design of the world's...
