GAMM CSE Workshop 2017
Workshop, 19-20 Ocotber 2017, Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany
GAMM activity group Computational Science and Engineering (CSE)
Scope
Research in the area of computational science and engineering (CSE) has become a major driving force for scientific progress in the fields of numerical simulation, high-performance computing and algorithm development. The impact of this rapidly evolving discipline is manifold: emerging fields like biomedical engineering, data driven computing as well as water sustainability and advanced new materials rely fundamentally on cutting-edge CSE research. Yet, a unique interweaving of knowledge as well as novel approaches in education and funding are required to strengthen CSE as the “third pillar” of science.
Together with a long-standing tradition of research on computational mechanics, the fields of mathematical modelling, numerics and scientific computing are key topics of the Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik e.V. (GAMM). They form the basis of modern CSE, requiring interdisciplinary and international research collaborations across traditional boundaries.
The 2017 workshop of the GAMM activity group on CSE will take place on October 19-20 at Jülich Supercomputing Centre. The focus of this event is on “coupling”: Finding strategies to efficiently couple models, methods and software to solve for the individual physics is a challenging task and a highly active field of research. In particular, regarding upcoming exascale systems, the scalability of such coupled software solutions is key to code sustainability and code applicability to solve even more complex multi-physics problems in the future.

Invited speakers
Prof. Dr. Scott MacLachlan
Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada
Dr. MacLachlan received a B.Sc. (Hon.) in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of British Columbia in 2000 and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2004. After postdoctoral periods at the University of Colorado, the University of Minnesota, and the Delft University of Technology, he joined the faculty of Tufts University in January 2008, and joined Memorial University in July 2014. Dr. MacLachlan's research interests lie in computational applied mathematics and scientific computation. In particular, his work centers on the development and analysis of finite-element and multigrid methods, typically for PDE-based models of fluid and solid mechanics.
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Miriam Mehl
University of Stuttgart, Germany
Miriam Mehl is full professor at the department of Computer Science (Institute for Parallel and Distributed Systems) of the University of Stuttgart since 2013 and vice-dean of the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Her research focus is on methods and algorithms at the interface between numerical mathematics and the efficient use of parallel computers. She is working on several projects contributing to the more accurate, stable, faster, and flexible simulation of complex physical and bio-physical systems. Since 2003, she supervised the developer team of the multi-physics coupling tool preCICE and its predecessor FSI*ce. Before 2013, Miriam Mehl has been working as an Acting Professor for Numerical Mathematics (2012-2013) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and as a Carl-von-Linde Junior Fellow (2010-2013) at the Institute for Advanced Study as part of TUM's strategic infrastructure in the third funding line of the excellence initiative of the German federal and state governments. She finished her Habilitation in Computer science at TUM in 2010, achieved the doctoral degree (summa cum laude) at the same institution in 2001 after her Diploma in Mathematics in 1997. She a member of several committees, among others the Scientific Advisory Board of the Steering Committee of the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (BMBF) and the user committee of the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS).
Dr. Mariano Vázquez
Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain
Since 2005, Mariano Vázquez leads the research team for High Performance Computational Mechanics (HPCM Team) in the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, in Spain. His team’s main task is to develop Computational Mechanics tools adapted to run efficiently in large-scale parallel computers. This involves Physical modelling, Mathematical algorithms and code development and optimization, all with the strong constraint of efficient use of parallel resources. Together with Dr. Guillaume Houzeaux, they are the main architects of the Alya System, the in-house parallel multi-physics simulation tool, co-supervising a task force of around 40 researchers and programmers. Mariano Vázquez's main research lines fall within Computational Science, such as Computational Bio-Mechanics (particularly Solid Mechanics of organic tissue and Electrophysiology) at organ and system level. His team develops a simulation tool to study the cardiovascular system, Alya Red CCM (Cardiac Computational Model) from the heart up to the small arterioles in the brain, targeted to biomedical researchers in both academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Infarction, ageing, aneurisms rupture risk, arrhythmias, stent design or drug delivery are among the topics where the CCM can become a decisive help. Mariano Vázquez is also scientist at the Spanish National Scientific Council CSIC.
