Description

This research workshop will bring together researchers in numerical analysis, machine learning, and applied mathematics to explore advances in structure-preserving methods and their specific impact on plasma physics and numerical weather prediction. By capturing essential physical processes associated to the continuum models in these research areas, structure-preserving methods can improve physical reliability, numerical accuracy, and the efficiency of their numerical simulation. These properties offer tangible benefits to high-impact applications such as fusion modelling; atmospheric and space physics; material synthesis; weather forecasting; and natural disaster preparedness. This workshop will serve as a venue for both numerical analysts and application specialists to actualize these benefits and research opportunities by presenting on their work, networking with domain specialists, and participating in a series of informal discussions. Our goal is to enrich this research topic by facilitating collaborations on the development of new structure-preserving methods and their real-world applications. 

This research workshop is a satellite meeting preceding the University of Victoria CAIMS meeting from June 1-5, 2027.

The University of Victoria (UVic) sits in Victoria, British Columbia's capital, at the southern end of Vancouver Island. It is a coastal city with a mild climate, an ocean shoreline, and easy access to beaches, parks, and hiking trails. The main campus is a short bus ride from downtown, on the boundary between the municipalities of Saanich and Oak Bay, and its green, walkable grounds include Finnerty Gardens and the wooded ravine at Mystic Vale. UVic has more than 22,000 students from over 100 countries and a strong reputation for research, hands-on learning, and sustainability. We hope the setting makes for a productive and enjoyable few days.
