Past Events

In this lecture, Dr Brodie Lawson demonstrates how mathematical models and computer simulations help us better understand the complexities of the heart.

ACEMS is proud to present a digital display of the exhibit, "Remember Maryam Mirzakhani". The digital exhibition will feature 18 original posters celebrating the life of Maryam Mirzakhani, the only woman to ever win the top award in mathematics, the Fields Medal.

In this lecture, Professor Jessica Purcell provides an introduction to knot theory looking closely at some of the modern tools used to study them.

This one-day professional development workshop - split over two consecutive half days - is designed to help maths teachers give their students an authentic experience of 'doing mathematics' while at the same time supporting success in tests and examinations.

The goal of this event is to introduce researchers to network science and its applications.

ACEMS has hosted six Virtual Public Lectures in 2020 so far. The videos from those lectures are now online.

ACEMS, the Australian Data Science Network, the QUT Centre for Data Science and Integrity Systems Co.

The ACEMS Annual Retreat is an opportunity for the ACEMS community to come together, celebrate and share the Centre's achievements and research from the past year, as well as discuss the vision and goals for the coming year. Due to the COVID 19 situation with lockdown and travel restrictions in Australia, the 2020 retreat will primarily be held online.

In this talk, Professor Kate Smith-Miles will describe how her research quest to generate mathematical functions that are challenging and “stress-test” optimisation algorithms has led to a large collection of intricate and beautiful 2D images, arising as contour plots of mathematical functions that have been mathematically generated to create challenging landscapes.

In this lecture, Professor Gatil Shmueli, Taiwan University, discussed several dilemmas, challenges, and trade-offs related to behavioral big data.

In this lecture, Dr Ortiz will highlight how he has used relatively simple mathematics to help understand and contextualize patterns in empirical and experimental observations to reach conclusions that are relevant for the management of the Great Barrier Reef.
