2020 Elections

I am a second year PhD student at UCD where my research involves understanding the mechanism behind the generation of extreme events in turbulent fluid flow. My research uses a wide variety of applied mathematics and statistics from dynamical systems and statistical mechanics to computational fluid mechanics. I have had a passion for mathematics from a young age, particularly for its effectiveness at solving real world problems. As co-founder of the SIAM-IMA Dublin Area Student Chapter I have always believed in cultivating a community where people can engage and share research, ideas and stories relating to applied mathematics and statistics in the Dublin area. As your president my first aim is to push for hosting this years Irish SIAM Student Conference.

I’m a second year PhD student in applied mathematics at TU Dublin and I am very eager to get involved in the running of our exciting new SIAM-IMA Dublin Area Student Chapter. Having been a member of SIAM since 2018, I have attended several of their events and conferences and seen first-hand how valuable these can be for exchanging information and ideas. With your much-appreciated support, I would love to help to further build the new Dublin chapter and foster cooperation between the mathematical community and the worlds of science and technology, by organising invited guest speakers, events and seminars.

Hi, I’m Caelen Feller. I’m a final year mathematics undergraduate student in TCD, and next year I’ll be doing a PhD in numerical methods in solving inverse problems for EEG machines. I was part of the mathematics society committee in Trinity for 3 years, as the Secretary, PR officer, and Webmaster – I enjoy roles requiring creativity and organisation. Some highlights were a talk/workshop on the mathematics of origami with Dr. Victoria Lebed, and making the society more accessible to all. I really enjoy the sense of community common interests bring and I’d like to foster that within the chapter.

I am a 3rd year PhD student in Applied Mathematics at UCD. I am a member of the Wave Group and my work focuses on the development of operational tools for Tsunami Warning Centres. These tools will provide extremely rapid localised forecasts of tsunami wave heights, inundation and induced currents. I have been the main contributor in the development of the numerics of the massively parallel tsunami code Volna-OP2. I have attended multiple SIAM events in the past and would like to get involved as I have seen the many benefits that such a chapter brings.

Hi, my name is Tatjana Kokina and I am in the first year of my PhD, and part of Wave Group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, UCD, under the supervision of Professor Frederic Dias. I am working on HIGHWAVE Project. The project uses real-time raw data harvested in situ by the project team to develop new models and new algorithms for air and water exchange in oceanic environments, boulder deposits, erosion and structural damage. I have attended SIAM IE Student Chapter Conference recently, and believe it’s a great idea – having a Dublin chapter that would give us the opportunity to meet students who are interested in applied mathematics, share our ideas and discover potential collaborators. And I would like to get involved to support this great idea!
