Thinking cars, subways on computer chips, atoms’ fingerprints – if you want to know, what JKU research is all about, you are cordially invited to join the LIT Lecture Series!

Program:

"Towards Fast Adaptive Simulation with Isogeometric Analysis" Clemens Hofreither (LIT / Institute of Computational Mathematics)

"When Your Virtual Trainer Knows A Lot About Your Brain …" Manuela Macedonia (Institute for Information Engineering)

"Tax Us If You Can: Which Country Should Tax Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon?" Georg Kofler (LIT / Institute of Corporate Finance Law, Tax Law and Fiscal Policy)

Isogeometric Analysis is a young competitor to the Finite Element Method for the solution of partial differential equations which promises interoperability with CAD systems. We discuss recent work on fast, adaptive solution techniques for IGA..

Intelligent tutor systems in mobile devices make learning ubiquitous, autonomous, and at low cost. In this talk, I describe why neuroscientific knowledge has to ground the “construction” of virtual trainers and what the benefits for users are.
