Inverse Problems and Mathematical/Statistical Modelling Conference (IPMM)

Wed 05 Jun 2024 9:00-17:00

Research students and academics with an interest in inverse problems and mathematical/statistical modelling are invited to a conference at Manchester Met in June 2024.

The event is being organised by associate professor Taysir Dyhoum to mark their appointment as senior lecturer in artificial intelligence at the Department of Computing and Mathematics.

It aims to strengthen the research network for inverse problems and mathematical modelling, set a vision for growing mathematical modelling and explore funding opportunities.

The conference is open to mathematicians, computer scientists and researchers working in associated fields from Manchester Met and other institutions.

Get involved

The conference is free to attend. To register, email conference organiser Taysir Dyhoum with your name, school address, and email.

Research students/academics are invited to present their work in a 15-minute talk or poster. Please submit a title and abstract for your contribution by 21 May 2024 for review. We will notify successful applicants.
