icm research in mathematical modelling

• Concept combination of modelling, numerical
  simulation and experimental validation
• Strong collaborative attitude, but in addition
  own experimental labs
• Large-scale data analysis, processing and storage
  lab (in founding)
• Samples to be presented tomorrow

5
icm research collaborations

• numerous projects within EU programs, mostly in
  ICT and environment areas
• strong German collaboration links (MATHEON,
  IWR)
• industry contracted research (selection)
• food manufacturing chocolate making
• airline industry operational network planning,
  management and stabilization
• airports operational planning
• environment wind energy, monitoring
