In autumn 2023, two new master programs started at the faculty of science at #LundUniversity namely Computational Science (strong math background) and Applied Computational Science (weak math background). The students are now working on their master thesis and recently, we had a full day where all reported on their progress. To formulate the goal of the program succinctly, it is to have the students learn state of the art techniques for modelling and simuation and apply these to interesting problems. And, what can I say, the concept really works. It was a joy to see.
Here are some of the applications they are working on:
Paper production
Cooling of data centers
Cancer detection
Effect of microparticles on pregnant women
Tree ring series
Tree modelling in climate simulations
4D X-Ray
Peptides in Pharmacology
Room acoustics
And the methods are extremely varied as well. From numerical solvers for partial differential equations, to numerical solvers for neural networks, to purely data driven neural network approaches, and from differential equation based modelling to pure data analysis.
The advisors come from all institutions of the faculty of science, and from local companies.
