Mathematical Models in Science and Technology with an Interdisciplinary Approach (Momat – IA)

Brief description

One of the main goals of research is to solve problems that arise in a social, economical and technological context of society. In order to address these problems effectively, the multidisciplinary contribution of researchers of different scientific fields is needed. In this way, Mathematics are increasingly becoming an essential ingredient for new technological and scientific challenges, which in turn enrich this Science. The general aim of this scientific program is to do research, from a mathematical point of view, on several topics of interest for society, collaborating with other mathematicians and researchers of other scientific fields, as well as companies and other institutions or agencies. In particular, we will focus on mathematical modeling, which has become a powerful tool for computer simulation, optimization and control of processes. This allows, among other things, to avoid a large amount of experimental work in the laboratory, which is usually time consuming and expensive.
The scientific program is divided into 4 objectives:
1. Mathematical modeling of the spreading and impact of epidemics.
2. Modeling of Lithium batteries.
3. Modeling of oil spills and optimization of its recovery with skimmers.
4. Other topics.
Our goal is to develop suitable mathematical models (or improving the existing ones), analyze them mathematically, develop algorithms for their numerical resolution, simulate study cases, solve associated optimization problems and to draw relevant conclusions.

  • 10 July 2023. Alicja Barbara Kubik Gladys (PhD student supervised by B. Ivorra and A.M. Ramos; all three IMI members) and Paula Terán Viadero (PhD student under supervision by F. J. Martín Campo, IMI member, and by A. Alonso Ayuso, URJC member) have been awarded two of the four second prices granted by the Jornada PhDay jury, which took place on 3 July 2023, in the Facultad de Ciencias Matemáticas of the UCM. The two first prices went to Pablo Hidalgo Palencia and Guillermo Sánchez Arellano, while the two other second prices were awarded to Joaquín Domínguez de Tena and Joao Gabriel Gomes de Oliveira.  Congratulations to the six of you!
