PIMS Workshop on Mathematical Sciences and Clean Energy Applications
University of British Columbia
May  21 - 24, 2019

Abstract
To minimize climate impacts and prevent runaway climate change, then energy chain of the global economy must be drastically decarbonized.
This exploratory workshop will build a greater dialogue between those in the mathematical sciences and the clean energy sector.

The workshop will include:

  *   First-hand accounts of mathematical scientists working in clean energy projects
  *   Gentle introductions to clean energy systems and mathematical tools
  *   Graduate student presentations
  *   Panel discussions on topics such as challenges in clean energy

The goal of the workshop is to inspire interest in further exploration and to nucleate collaborations between mathematical scientists and practitioners in clean energy. Mathematical scientists with no previous experience in clean energy research are welcome.

We now have a list of 30 confirmed speakers from a wide variety of math, science and engineering university departments, as well as from industry and the BC Government.

Upcoming Deadlines

  *   February 25, 2019: Applications for funding (travel and accommodation support)
  *   February 25, 2019: Submission of abstracts for a poster session
  *   March 25, 2019: Early-bird Registration deadline

Registration and more information:

The website also contains general information on the workshop, as well as a preliminary list of confirmed speakers and session topics. We are planning for a vibrant workshop that inspires interaction between mathematical scientists and clean energy practitioners.  Participants from academia (faculty, students, postdocs) and industry, experts and neophytes alike, are most welcome, but space may be limited.

Please feel free to advertise widely, in particular to graduate students and postdocs.

Organizers

  *   Bill Aiello, UBC
  *   Richard Karsten, Acadia University
  *   Brian Marcus, UBC
  *   Vakhtang Putkaradze, UAlberta
