Applied mathematics and optimisation

该计划涉及跨学科项目，其目的除了直接获得新知识外，还旨在指导学员掌握高度抢手的分析和计算技能。有三个感兴趣的领域：模式形成与异常，流动模拟和优化填埋气设施和生态。所有这些都需要理论分析和数值模拟，理论分析通常是所需数学工具的先驱。后两个主题与工程密切相关，需要测量和实验数据。此外，从landill井设备和维护实践的改进中，预计短期和长期的环境效益。

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.
