Aims and scopes
What brings us together
The goal of the project UNA-Random is to leverage the scientific strengths across the universities of Una Europa alliance in study of complex random systems.
The group aims to foster and coordinate joint scientific and educational activities with the ultimate goal of generating longstanding collaborations among scientists who share and interest in mathematical, statistical and computational aspects of stochastic modelling.
The group also seeks new academic and industrial partnerships to expand its scientific network and create new career opportunities for PhD students and young researchers.
History and funding
The group formed in early 2021, when an application for the 2021 call of the Seed Funding grant was submitted in order to fund the initial activities of the group. In November 2021 the funding was approved. The activities planed in the year 2022 are supported by the Seed Funding grant SF2109.
Scientific background
Complex dynamical systems are ubiquitous and their study involves different branches of Mathematics and Statistics given uncertainties in parameters, known unobservables, and external influences. These appear in natural to social and data sciences, including physics, biology, epidemiology, neuroscience, economics, finance and machine learning.
UNA-Random is formed by a group of scientists who analyze complex random systems from many different approaches. By joining strengths, we create “critical mass” to understand complex dynamical systems through probability: from model development to actually analyzing and carrying these models to applications and their numerical implementation.
Activities of 2022:
The activities of the year 2022 include:
The group will also engage in writing research proposals and to apply for national and European grants, in order to fund the activities of the group in the forthcoming years.
