Anile-ECMI Prize for Mathematics in Industry
The Anile-ECMI Prize for Mathematics in Industry was established honouring Professor Angelo Marcello Anile (1948-2007) of Catania, Italy, consists of a prize of 2500 Euros and an invitation to give a talk at the ECMI 2016 conference.
The prize is given to a young researcher for an excellent PhD thesis in industrial mathematics successfully submitted at a European university in 2014-2016. The 2016 Anile-ECMI Prize for Mathematics in Industry is awarded to Francesc Font from the University of Limerik. Francesc will present at ECMI 2016 a talk entitled Influence of substrate melting on the laser-induced dewetting of nanothin films, which is scheduled in the minisymposium MS03: Moving boundary problems in industrial applications.
Hansjörg Wacker Memorial Prize
The Hansjörg Wacker Memorial Prize was established in memory of ECMI founding member Hansjörg Wacker (1939-1991), who was Professor of Numerical Mathematics at the Johannes Kepler University, Linz. The prize is jointly funded by ECMI and by a consortium of institutions from Linz which comprise the Industrial Mathematics Institute and the Institute of Computational Mathematics of Johannes Kepler University, and the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. It consists of a prize of 1000 Euros and the invitation to attend the ECMI 2016 conference presenting his/her project as a contributed talk.
The prize is awarded for the best mathematical dissertation at the Masters level on an industrial project written by a student from an ECMI institution. The 2016 Hansjörg Wacker Memorial Prize is awarded Elisa Riccietti from the Università degli Studi Firenze. Elisa will present at ECMI 2016 a talk entitled Numerical methods for optimization problems: an application to energetic districts which is scheduled in the session of Contributed Talks CT05: Optimization problems.
Both prizes will be given in the Award Ceremony of ECMI 2016 on Monday 13th June, at 8:45 a.m.
