Metamaterials are engineered structures that achieve responses not possible with conventional materials. They are the basis of many potentially transformative technological advances. The design of metamaterials poses significant mathematical challenges, due to their multiscale physical properties and their resonant microstructures. The MATRIX workshop is a major opportunity for the rapidly growing community of Australian researchers […]

Rapid climate change and record-low sea ice extents have made the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ), which is the dynamic region where open ocean meets sea ice, an area of growing research focus. Modelling the MIZ requires breaking down multiscale processes into tractable mathematical problems including wave-ice interactions, floe size distributions, and biogeochemical dynamics. Recent mathematical […]

Groups Go West – adjacent to this year’s Annual Meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society, this workshop brings together national and international researchers working across the many different areas of group theory, including algorithmic, combinatorial, computational, geometric, homological, topological, and permutation group theory. The event will feature invited talks each day by top national and […]

Coxeter groups and Artin groups are two prominent families of groups which are closely related to each other. A key family of examples are the braid groups and the symmetric groups, corresponding to Artin groups and Coxeter groups respectively. Led by Australian mathematicians, in recent years there have been increasing connections between distinct communities of […]

OPTIMA-CON 2027 is a national optimisation and operations research conference bringing together researchers, HDR and Masters students, and industry practitioners to accelerate collaboration on real-world decision-making challenges. Building on the success of OPTIMA- CON 2024, the 2027 conference will feature accessible, applied talks; industry case studies across multiple sectors; hands-on industry challenge sessions; careers and […]
