An Indo-German conference on Computational Mathematics (IGCM) was jointly organised by the Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS), IISc and the IWR Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing, Heidelberg, Germany. This conference was partially supported by the Kotak IISc AI-ML Centre (KIAC).
The purpose of this conference, held between 27–30 March 2023, was to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and challenges in frontier areas of computational mathematics. IGCM 2023 aimed to foster interactions among the scientific computing and machine learning research communities and to provide a platform to present and discuss challenges and opportunities in combining process and data-driven modelling.
The conference topics included numerical analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) and stochastic PDEs, physics-informed neural networks, efficient and robust numerical schemes for solving complex problems, optimal control and inverse problems, scalable parallel algorithms, and hardware-aware scientific computing.
The speakers were from India and Germany. The participants included undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty from a variety of disciplines ranging from mathematics to computer science to engineering. They also came from different institutes and companies such as Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai; Shell Technology Centre, Bengaluru; Mahindra University École Centrale School of Engineering, Hyderabad; Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz; and Heidelberg University, Heidelberg.
