HGS MathComp - Where Methods Meet Applications

The Heidelberg Graduate School of Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences (HGS MathComp) at Heidelberg University is one of the leading graduate schools in Germany focusing on the complex topic of Scientific Computing. Located in a vibrant research environment, the school offers a structured interdisciplinary education for PhD students. The program supports students in pursuing innovative PhD projects with a strong application-oriented focus, ranging from mathematics, computer science, bio/life-sciences, physics, and chemical engineering sciences to cultural heritage. A strong focus is put on the mathematical and computational foundations: the theoretical underpinnings and computational abstraction and conception.

HGS MathComp Principal Investigators are leading experts in their fields, working on projects that combine mathematical and computational methodology with topical research issues. Individual mentoring for PhD candidates and career development programs ensure that graduates are fully equipped to take up top positions in industry and academia.

Talk
Speaker: Dr. Felicitas Mokler • Journalist in Residence 2024 at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS)
Location: Mathematikon • Conference Room, Room 5/104, 5th Floor • Im Neuenheimer Feld 205 • 69120 Heidelberg
Registration: No registration required!
Organizer: Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR)
Link:
ECTS: 1 for 5
For more information on Felicitas Mokler please visit the “2024 Journalist in Residence" website at at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS).

The recent development of AI-based software to create texts, images or even videos has an increasing impact on the work of journalists. This talk will outline benefits as well as concerns and risks of this emerging technology for journalism.

Practicals & Schools
4EU+ Workshop on Computational Mass Spectrometry and Scientific Communication using AI Tools (Prague)
[]
School
Location: Charles University, Prague
Registration: Please register on the event website
Organizer: 4EU+; Charles University, Prague
ECTS: 2
This is a student-organized event in the scope of the 4EU+ European University Alliance. Please visit the event website for more information.

Travel support is available through 4EU+. € 280 plus an additional € 50 green mobility bonus if you travel by train or bus (there is a direct Flixbus connection between Heidelberg and Prague). Please contact Angela Queisser after your registration is complete: angela.queisser@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de

At current prices, the travel grant will almost cover your travel and accommodation costs, as Prague is comparatively inexpensive. Co-financing with your HGS MathComp travel budget or with your research group is possible.

Computational-based mass spectrometry (MS) is rapidly evolving, challenging us to process and interpret complex multi-dimensional data. There are many computational MS projects to aid in this process, but mastering or even starting to use them can be a challenge. Therefore, we want to provide a platform in Prague to meet, discuss, and learn how to move MS-based omics forward. Additionally, we want to offer a hands-on training workshop on the use of generative AI tools for scientific writing presentations, where we can learn their use, opportunities, and ethical usage.
