The profit obtained from operating energy infrastructure depends on fluctuating market prices. Oil production is a topical example. When oil prices are low enough, it makes sense to shut in the wells. Shutting in a well avoids producing petroleum to...

Lecture slidesfor this event are available on mathtube.org In this seminar we will discuss a new model for strategic investment model for a merchant energy storage facility. The facility's actions impact market-clearing outcomes, and thus it is a...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org Experimental design is a branch of statistics focused upon designing experimental studies in a way that maximizes the amount of salient information produced by the experiment. It is a topic which has...

I'll give an introduction to modelling contagion processes on networks. I will discuss both biological and social contagions, and I will focus especially on the latter. I will consider what subjects like dynamical systems, statistical physics, and...

Data analytics is increasingly becoming an important part of decision making process in applications ranging from management, technology, policy analysis and sports. Key decisions that have been traditionally made by humans are now partly made or at...

A flexible Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) framework is presented. The framework is derived on the basis of an Augmented Lagrangian formulation for FSI, and is suitable for matching and non-matching interface discretization. The key constituents of...

The Institutes’ Industrial Problem Solving Workshops aim to create mutually beneficial links between industrial researchers and their counterparts in academia, with a focus on mathematical, statistical, and computational problems that arise in real...

For large oil and gas heterogeneous fields, vast amounts of seismic, geologic and dynamic reservoir data yield high-resolution geological models. These models involve mega (million) to giga (billion) grid block cells. Recent advances in the...

The Alberta Epigenetics Network (AEN) in partnership with the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) is organizing a workshop November 24, 2017 in Calgary, which would: 1. Provide researchers and industry partners a platform to share...

PIMS is sponsoring the 2017 ProtoChallenge on the April 1 weekend at the University of Calgary, hosted by Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) at Calgary. ProtoChallenge is a 24 hour event where groups of students pitch ideas to help the community...
