Virtual European Study Group 162

 20 - 24 Jul 2020

Online

About:

European Study Groups with Industry are an internationally recognised method of technology transfer between academic mathematicians and industry. European Study Groups with Industry are week long workshops that provide a forum for problem presenters from businesses and non-academic institutions to work alongside academic mathematicians and data scientists on real-world problems of direct relevance. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this workshop took place online using a variety of platforms, such as Zoom, Mural, HackMD, and Overleaf.

Here is the group photo of this event. 

Problems Included:

  • A problem to develop climate crisis stress tests to assess corporate bonds

  • Dstl – Considering the problem of uncertainty quantification of self-organised swarms of drone sensors

  • Faraday Predictive Ltd want to understand the relative magnitude of distortions to motor current arising from changes in motor load, eccentricity and rotor condition

  • Innovation Embassy would like to estimate the total amount that online customers will spend based on limited data, including how the customer arrives at the website and their initial purchase

  • Transfinite (problem 1) want to quantify risk under deployment uncertainty in radio spectrum management

  • Transfinite (problem 2) would like to assess the probability of satellite collision and/or the number of avoidance manoeuvres that would be needed in busy orbit shells

Sponsors and Funders:

The Virtual Forum for Knowledge Exchange in the Mathematical Sciences (V-KEMS) supported the online hosting of this Virtual European Study Group.
