Subject: IMA Maths in Signal Processing, UK, Dec 2012
Institute of Mathematics and its Applications
Ninth International Conference on Mathematics in Signal Processing
17 – 20 December 2012, Austin Court, Birmingham, UK
Signal processing constitutes an important area for the application of
mathematical concepts and techniques fuelled, for example, by
developments in mobile communications, multimedia systems and digital
TV. The subject is still advancing rapidly in areas such as
non-linear/non-Gaussian/non- stationary signal processing, compressive
sampling, digital communication systems, iterative estimation
(e.g. turbo codes), blind deconvolution/signal separation, broadband
systems, compressive sensing and novel sampling schemes. The aim
of the conference is to bring together mathematicians, statisticians
and engineers with a view to exploring recent developments and
identifying fruitful avenues for further research. It is hoped that
the meeting will help to attract more mathematicians into this
important and challenging field.
The conference will follow the same successful format as before,
comprising tutorials, keynote addresses and six non-overlapping
sessions each featuring:
(a) two or three spoken papers with some tutorial content
(b) a related poster session for more specific research papers.
Plenary Speakers: John McWhirter, Jim Reilly, Sergios Theodoridis,

Subject: PhD Position, Molecular Biophysics/Scientific Comp, Uppsala
At the Department of Information technology and the Department of
Cell- and Molecular biology, Uppsala University.
Modern extremely powerful X-ray free-electron lasers have the ability
to produce diffraction patterns from a _single_ protein molecule or a
_single_ virus before it explodes and turns into a plasma. Femtosecond
extremely bright X-ray pulses simply outrun all damage processes in
the sample. Large amounts of diffraction data representing a
collection of cuts of the sample particle thus collected can be used
to derive a three-dimensional data set. The actual fitting of the
diffraction patterns into a consistent 3D structure is computationally
very hard and currently, diffraction data is produced at an increasing
rate.
The aim with this project is to produce computational tools that can
handle this important challenge. The project will be run as a close
cooperation between the Parallel Algorithms group within the Linnaeus
Center of Excellence UPMARC and the Laboratory of Molecular
Biophysics, a Center of Excellence of the Swedish Research Council.
In this inherently cross-disciplinary research project we welcome
outstanding candidates with a background in one or several of the
subjects Numerical Analysis, Scientific Computing, Parallel and
GPU-programming, Biotechnology/Bioinformatics and/or Molecular
Biology.

The Project: Numerical simulation of multi-material flows with ALE
methods
Compressible multi-material flows are encountered in many science and
engineering problems. Example applications include high speed solid
impacts, granular materials, and gas-fluid interaction. The modelling
of such flows requires the consideration of complex wave interactions
and material interfaces, and poses significant challenges for accurate
numerical simulation.
Historically, methods to solve such problems have been divided into
two classes: Eulerian approaches, which use a computational mesh that
is fixed throughout the simulation, and Lagrangian approaches, where
the mesh deformation is linked directly to that of the
material. Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) methods combine these
two approaches in order to exploit the benefits of each, without
suffering from their deficiencies.
Finite volume Godunov-type Eulerian methods have been well established
for some time. However, Lagrangian and ALE Godunov-type methods have
been much slower to evolve. This is largely due to the difficulty in
defining consistent nodal velocities for such element centred schemes.
The objective of this project is to research, develop and implement
higher- order Godunov-type schemes within the framework of an ALE
method.
These schemes would offer accurate and robust solutions for capturing
wave structures, such as strong shocks, contacts and phase
discontinuities, on arbitrarily moving grids. The resultant solvers
will be applied to practical multi-material problems and compared to
alternative schemes.
Funding
The project is sponsored by AWE (Aldermaston). Depending on the
candidate's qualifications and background, funding is available for 3
years (PhD) or 1 + 3 years (MPhil and PhD) of study at UK Research
