The UPV/EHU is a teaching and research institution officially founded in 1985. The University of the Basque Country is at the helm of Research, Development and Innovation in the region of the Basque Country. The university employs over 7.000 people throughout 31 faculties distributed in its three campuses with over 50,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students. The UPV/EHU is the Spanish University offering the highest number of degrees, one third of these degrees having a quality mention from the Spanish Ministry of Education. It has also been recognised as International Excellence Campus by the Spanish Government.
David Pardo (PI of MATHROCKS) is a Research Professor at Ikerbasque, the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, and the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM). He has published over 110 research articles and he has given over 190 presentations. In 2011, he was awarded as the best Spanish young researcher in Applied Mathematics by the Spanish Society of Applied Mathematics (SEMA). He leads several national research projects, as well as research contracts with national and international companies. He is now the PI of the research group on Mathematical Modeling, Simulation, and Industrial Applications (M2SI).
BCAM is a world-class research center on Applied Mathematics with a focus on interdisciplinary research in the frontiers of mathematics, attraction and training of talented scientists, development of new numerical and simulation methods, interaction with industry, and promotion of scientific and technological advances worldwide. The research structure of the Center is grouped into Research Areas and Lines. Consolidated Research Lines consist of a Group Leader, senior researchers, post-doctoral researchers and doctoral students. Starting in 2008 with 3 Professors and 1 Research Line and, up to Dec 2013, with 41 Researchers (Professors, Post-doc fellows, PhD Students and External Scientific Members), a high number of visiting fellows and internships, supported by a Staff team (7 members), integrating people from more than 21 different countries, the Center has accomplished a long and intense path, full of high quality scientific activities and hard work. BCAM is a young center where the average age of researchers is below 35.
Ali Hashemian (PI at BCAM) is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM). He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in Iran (2014). He has been also working as a Research Assistant at Simon Fraser University in Canada, and as a Lecturer at Hakim Sabzevari University in Iran.
The French national institute for research in computer science and control (INRIA), operating under the joint authority of the Ministries of Research and of Industry, is dedicated to fundamental and applied research in information and communication science and technology (ICST). Research at INRIA is organised in “project teams” which bring together researchers with complementary skills to focus on specific scientific projects. INRIA transfers expertise and research results to companies (startups, SMEs and major groups) in fields as diverse as healthcare, transport, energy, communications, security and privacy protection, smart cities and the factory of the future.
Hélène Barucq (Team‐leader of the Inria Project Team Magique3D), PI of the INRIA Group. Specialist of wave equation modelling and of numerical analysis of PDE. Julie e Chabassier (Inria Research scientist). Linear and non‐linear wave equations.
BSC‐CNS (Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación) is the National Supercomputing Facility in Spain and was officially constituted in April 2005. BSC‐CNS manages MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe. The mission ofBSC‐CNS is to investigate, develop and manage information technology in order to facilitate scientific progress. With this aim, special dedication has been taken to areas such as Computer Sciences, Life Sciences, Earth Sciences and Computational Applications in Science and Engineering.
Josep de la Puente (PI at BSC) is the Geophysical Applications Group Leader at BSC. He is a multidisciplinary geoscientist specialized in large‐scale forward and inverse geophysical modelling by means of HPC systems and numerical methods. His work is related to both scientific research, with more than 30 articles published and 100 conference contributions, and technology transfer in geophysics, participating in projects amounting for more that twenty million euro both from competitive and non-competitive funding.
The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) is a public institution dedicated to higher education and research that specialises in engineering, architecture and science. The Laboratori de Càlcul Numèric (LaCaN) is an active group in Computational Mechanics with strong commitment to both high‐educational training (15 PhD theses supervised in the past 5 years) and research (130 indexed papers in the last 5 years).
Pedro Díez (PI at UPC) heads the Civil Engineering School of UPC and the vice‐president of ECCOMAS. His main expertise is on computational mechanics, with especial emphasis in the area of verification and validation.
AGH University of Sciences and Technology (AGH) Group at AGH University, Poland. Prof. Maciej Paszynski is the leader of the research group “Adaptive Algorithms and Systems (A2S)”. The group performs research oriented toward the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) in advanced simulations of phenomena often governed by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs): linear, non-linear, stationary, and time-dependent (e.g., finite element simulations of stationary problems using AI adaptive algorithms, HPC isogeometric analysis simulations of time-dependent problems, AI applications for stabilized Petrov-Galerkin simulations). Members of the research group include Dr Marcin Łoś, expert in Numerical methods and simulations, Dr Maciej Woźniak, expert in HPC, Rafał Grzeszczuk, PhD student specializing with Deep Neural Network. The group collaborates with prof. Witold Dzwinel from AGH, specializing in incorporating data assimilation methods like supermodeling which couples several instances of simulators for more realistic simulations.
