The website for the online seminar which has all the details is: https://owos.univie.ac.at. On this website you will find a tentative schedule for talks for the next weeks to come and some detailed instructions about the format of the seminar talks.

How to participate: Via zoom, a simple webinar tool for which only the host (University of Vienna in this case) needs a license and all other participants can log-in via a link that will be sent by e-mail together with the room password to the mailing list the day before each talk. Just click the link and fill in the password and you will be sent to the webinar room. There will be a host with control over the microphones.

Register for the OWOS Mailing List: You are kindly invited to join the mailing list by registering at  https://owos.univie.ac.at. After being registered you will automatically obtain information about the next speaker at the One World Optimization Seminar. The access information (link of the zoom-room and the corresponding password) are announced the day before each talk.

MATRIX will be hosting a monthly online seminar series to combat ‘Coronavirus and work-from-home’ fatigue. We welcome your attendance. Register here (once only) for the Zoom link for the entire MATRIX seminar series.

May Seminar
Presenter: Professor James McCaw, The University of Melbourne
Topic: Contributions of mathematical modelling of infectious diseases to both preparedness and response James has been providing advice to the Australian Commonwealth Department of Health on the Coronavirus pandemic since late January 2020 and will discuss the contribution of mathematical modelling of infectious diseases to both preparedness and response.
Date & time: Friday, 1 May at 8:00 a.m. (AEST) (Melbourne time); Thursday, 30 April at 3:00 p.m. (PDT) (Los Angeles, USA time); Thursday, 30 April at 11:00 p.m. (GMT) (London, UK time)
Duration: 1 hour (45 minute presentation & 15 minutes question time)

Register once to receive the online Zoom link Once registered, you will be emailed the Zoom link 24 hours prior to the commencement of each seminar in the series.
[Please note: Registration will close 24 hours before the commencement of each online seminar, to allow MATRIX Office staff time to manage the distribution of the Zoom link to new and existing registrants].

The 20th Biennial Computational Techniques and Applications Conference (CTAC2020) will be held at UNSW Sydney from 30 August to 2 September, 2020.

Our aim is to conduct a high-quality conference on computational mathematics; scientific, technical and industrial applications; and high-performance computing.

Invited Speakers:

• Konstantin Brenner (University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France)
• Michael Feischl (TU Vienna, Austria)
• David Harvey (UNSW, Sydney, Australia)
• Trevor McDougall (UNSW, Sydney, Australia)
• Kate Smith-Miles (University of Melbourne, Australia)
• Catherine Powell (University of Manchester, UK)
• Aretha Teckentrup (University of Edinburgh, UK)
• Alex Townsend (Cornell University, USA)

The special themes for the meeting will include:

• Computational fluid dynamics
• Data assimilation
• Optimisation
• Inverse problems
• Data science
• Uncertainty quantification

CTAC is organised by the special interest group in computational techniques and applications of ANZIAM, the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Division of the Australian Mathematical Society. The meetings provide an interactive forum for researchers interested in the development and use of computational methods applied to engineering, scientific and other problems.

Research Topic:	Mathematical analysis of a novel method of mineral fractionation
Brief Outline:	You will work as part of a team led by Associate Professor Jeff Hogan and Laureate Professor Kevin Galvin as part of the ARC 2020 Discovery Project “Enhanced fractionation of mineral particles according to density”. This is cross-disciplinary research involving the application of advanced mathematical techniques to a problem in particle separations, relevant to the resources industry.
Detailed Description:	In minerals processing, accurate resource assessment, plant design, and process assessment require knowledge of the mass distribution of the particles as a function of the particle density – the “washability data’’. The traditional sink-float method has traditionally been used to obtain the data, utilising a series of baths containing liquids of different densities. There are, however, significant health and environmental problems associated with the sink-float method, not least of which being that the heavy liquids used are toxic, environmentally hazardous, and costly. CI Galvin has developed new technologies for beneficiating particles in minerals processing, most notably the REFLUX™ Classifier used in gravity separation to separate particles according to their density using a water-based fractionation method. This project involves the development of an algorithm for the de-convolution of the fractionation data arising from the this new technology to produce accurate washability data at low cost and with dramatically reduced impact on human health and the environment.
Eligibility Criteria:	Applicants must • have an excellent academic record in Honours in mathematics or a related discipline. Candidates with Masters by Research or Masters by Coursework degree are preferred. • have a strong mathematical background. • meet The University of Newcastle’s entry requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy, including English language requirements. • be willing to apply for internal and external travel grants and other available research support funding. • be willing to work in both theoretical and laboratory environments, reflecting the cross-disciplinary nature of the research. • be willing to travel to local and international research meetings. Expertise in one or more of the areas of Harmonic Analysis, Optimisation, Numerical Analysis or Signal Processing is desirable. Programming skills in MATLAB or Python are desirable. Women and applicants from under-represented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
Degree Type:	PhD only
Application procedure :	Applicants should send a cover letter (including a statement of research interests and suitability for the position, and contact details for two academic referees), academic transcripts, and CV to jeff.hogan@newcastle.edu.au Applications close 31 March 2020 or until the position is filled.
Name of Supervisor:	Associate Professor Jeffrey Hogan
Expression of Interest deadline:	31 Mar 2020
