Invitation, lecture at ICM 2018
International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM 2018)
Brasil, 2018
I was an invited speaker during the International Congress of Mathematicians 2018 (ICM 2018), a mathematical event organized by the International Mathematical Union that brought together mathematicians from all over the world in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 1st to 9th. (This is also the event at which the famous Fields medal is awarded.) In Mathematics an invitation to give a talk at an ICM, which is held every four years only, is considered as a distinction. The topic of my talk, within the section "Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing", was "On convection-diffusion-reaction and transport-flow problems modeling sedimentation".
