mathematics for sustainable development

scientific coordinator: Luca Formaggia

 

The main goals for this topic are the development of mathematical models and numerical methods with applications to biomedicine (e.g., precision medicine, mathematical oncology, neurosciences) and for the sustainable use of the subsoil and mitigation of the effects of human activities (e.g., CO2 sequestration, geothermal reservoirs), as well as the implementation and analysis of scientific machine learning algorithms.
