Applied mathematics and optimisation

该计划涉及跨学科项目，其目的除了立即获得新知识外，还旨在指导受训者掌握备受追捧的分析和计算技能。有三个感兴趣的领域：异常模式形成、流动建模和垃圾填埋气设施和生态的优化。所有这些都需要理论分析，通常需要开创性的数学工具，以及数值模拟。后两个主题密切涉及工程，涉及测量和实验数据的工作。此外，通过改善土地填埋井设备和维护实践，预计将为环境带来短期和长期效益。

The program involves inter-disciplinary projects, whose aim in addition to the immediate gain of new knowledge is to mentor trainees in highly sought after analytical and computational skills. There are three areas of interest: pattern formation with anomalies, flow modelling and optimisation in landfill gas facilities and ecology. All these need theoretical analysis, often pioneering in the mathematical tools required, and numerical simulations. The two latter topics closely touch on engineering, entailing measurements and work with experimental data. Moreover, short and long term benefits are expected for the environment from improvement of landill well equipment and maintenance practices.
