AARMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop

The main goals of an IPSW are to build connections between researchers in industry and academia. Five companies based in Atlantic Canada will present problems related to their interests, and participants will break into teams to explore solutions to these problems. The problems come from a variety of subject areas, but all are designed to be approachable by students and postdocs with backgrounds in pure mathematics, modelling, scientific computing, computer science, or data analysis. Each problem group will be led by a university faculty member with expertise relevant to the technical challenge at hand, but participants with a wide range of interests and expertise are welcome. Over the course of the four-day workshop, problem groups will work collaboratively to explore possible solution strategies to the technical challenges and propose longer-term research directions, as well as make connections to a larger group of companies and academic researchers with similar interests.
