One of Professor Ray's main areas of work is multi-scale modeling. She cooperates with geoscientists to find out more about the composition and structure of soils. “The microstructure of the soil has a direct influence on its macroscopic behavior. One focus of my work is therefore to build bridges between these two scales,” explains Professor Ray. As the composition of soils is not static, but constantly changing, this places particular demands on multi-scale modeling of issues in this area. Soil plays an important role in questions of energy, sustainability, climate and the environment - as a reservoir for water and carbon and as a habitat for microorganisms. For example, multiscale modeling provides the basis for simulating the absorption of water and nutrients by roots as well as ideal living conditions for microorganisms - also as a basis of knowledge for combating hunger.

Approximation experts as guests at MIDS

We are very pleased to welcome Prof. Joaquín Jódar Reyes (Departamento Matemáticas Universidad de Jaen, Campus Las Lagunillas, Spain) Prof. Miguel L. Rodríguez (Dep. de Matemática Aplicada, ETSI de Caminos Canales y Puertos, Universidad de Granada, Spain) and Prof. Martin Buhmann (Justus-Liebig University Giessen) as guests at MIDS this week.

Together with Dr. Janin Jäger from Prof. Oliver's research group, they are working on improving approximation methods. These are methods for calculating approximations and functions from data. In particular, they are looking at quasi-interpolation methods, in which they do not attempt to transfer the measured values exactly into the approximation, as the values can be incorrect, but rather to smooth the data.

Prof. Buhmann also gave a talk on "New multiquadric-type interpolation and on a regular domain" at the MIDS Oberseminar on Tuesday.

In 2022, CUP published a book by Prof. Buhmann and Dr. Jäger with the title "Quasi-Interpolation"

We are always very happy to welcome international scientists at MIDS.
