The Workshop on industrial applications of numerical analysis and machine learning will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss modern challenges at the intersection of applied mathematics and machine learning. The schedule contains a number of plenary and contributed talks discussing recent developments at the intersection of mathematics and machine learning, and alongside an Industry Day consisting of open discussions led by companies such as Fraunhofer, Deltares and ASML.

Industrial contributors will share their perspectives on major open machine learning challenges for their sector. This will motivate guided group breakout sessions where attendees will consider specific aspects of these challenges. Key questions will be shared in advance, to facilitate productive discussions, which will then be shared in a wrap-up session, and as a written output from the meeting.

This workshop is expected to lead to fruitful interactions between researchers in different fields, and industrial sectors. The schedule has been arranged to ensure lots of space for discussion, including a poster session which is open to all attendees.

Plenary speakers

Benjamin Peherstorfer is Associate Professor at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Until 2016, he was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory (ACDL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), working with Professor Karen Willcox. He received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the Technical University of Munich (Germany) in

2008, 2010, and 2013, respectively. His Ph.D. thesis was recognized with the Heinz-Schwaertzel prize, which is jointly awarded by three German universities to an outstanding Ph.D. thesis in computer science. Benjamin was selected for a Department of Energy (DoE) Early Career Award in the Applied Mathematics Program in 2018 and for an Air Force Young Investigator Program (YIP) award in Computational Mathematics in 2020. In 2021, Benjamin received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award in Computational Mathematics. His research focuses on computational methods for data- and compute-intensive science and engineering applications, including scientific machine learning, mathematics of data science, model reduction, and computational statistics.

Elena Celledoni is a professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. She has a Ph.D in computational mathematics from the University of Padua, Italy. She held post doc positions at the University of Cambridge, UK, at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, CA.

Her research field is numerical analysis structure preserving algorithms for differential equations and geometric numerical integration. More recently she has also been working on structure preservation in neural networks, and geometric methods for shape analysis.

She is the vice President of the European Consortium of Mathematics in Industry and the secretary of the Society of Foundations of Computational Mathematics. She has served as the co-chair for research at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at NTNU.

Marcelo Pereyra's research advances the statistical foundations of quantitative and scientific imaging. Over the past 15 years, he has made important contributions to Bayesian imaging sciences and developed significant connections between the statistical, variational and machine learning approaches to imaging. He is particularly interested in robust uncertainty quantification in imaging inverse problems, automatic calibration and verification of statistical image models, scalable Bayesian computation algorithms derived from stochastic diffusion processes, and applications of imaging with high social or environmental value.

Nicolas Boullé is an Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics at Imperial College London. He obtained a PhD in numerical analysis at the University of Oxford in 2022 and was a postdoc at the University of Cambridge from 2022-2024. His research focuses on the intersection between numerical analysis and deep learning, with a specific emphasis on scientific machine learning and learning physical models from data, particularly in the context of partial differential equations learning. He was awarded a Leslie Fox Prize in 2021 and a SIAM Best Paper Prize in Linear Algebra in 2024 for his work on operator learning .

Industrial contributors
