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...

PIMS is sponsoring the 2017 ProtoChallenge on the April 1 weekend at the University of Calgary, hosted by Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) at Calgary. ProtoChallenge is a 24 hour event where groups of students pitch ideas to help the community...

The profit obtained from operating energy infrastructure depends on fluctuating market prices. Oil production is a topical example. When oil prices are low enough, it makes sense to shut in the wells. Shutting in a well avoids producing petroleum to...

Lecture slidesfor this event are available on mathtube.org In this seminar we will discuss a new model for strategic investment model for a merchant energy storage facility. The facility's actions impact market-clearing outcomes, and thus it is a...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org Experimental design is a branch of statistics focused upon designing experimental studies in a way that maximizes the amount of salient information produced by the experiment. It is a topic which has...

I'll give an introduction to modelling contagion processes on networks. I will discuss both biological and social contagions, and I will focus especially on the latter. I will consider what subjects like dynamical systems, statistical physics, and...

Geophysical imaging and inversion allows us to see what is underneath the earth surfaces, using data collected from seismic, electrical, magnetic and gravitational measurements on the surface of the earth. Such imaging has wide applications, from...

The Institutes’ Industrial Problem Solving Workshops aim to create mutually beneficial links between industrial researchers and their counterparts in academia, with a focus on mathematical, statistical, and computational problems that arise in real...

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...

A flexible Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) framework is presented. The framework is derived on the basis of an Augmented Lagrangian formulation for FSI, and is suitable for matching and non-matching interface discretization. The key constituents of...
