Page 33 - 8th European Congress of Mathematics. 20-26 June 2021. Presentation of Plenary, Invited, Public, Abel and Prize Speakers at the 8ECM.
P. 33
Invited Speakers
Špela Špenko
Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Biosketch
Špela Špenko graduated in June 2015 from the
University of Ljubljana. Following her PhD, she was
a postdoc at University of Edinburgh and a PEGASUS Marie Sklodowska-
Curie fellow at the Free University of Brussels. Recently she has taken up
a lecturer position at Université Libre de Bruxelles. Her research interests
lie at the intersection of noncommutative algebra, algebraic geometry and
representation theory.
Anna-Karin Tornberg
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Biosketch
Anna-Karin Tornberg has been a professor
in Numerical Analysis at KTH in Stockholm since 2012. Her research
concerns the development of numerical methods for the solution of
PDEs. One specific focus is on boundary integral methods for fluid flows
involving particles and drops, and with that both development and
analysis of important components such as fast methods to accelerate
the computations and numerical quadrature techniques for evaluation of
singular and nearly singular integrals. In 2014, Prof. Tornberg was awarded
the Göran Gustafsson prize in Mathematics in Sweden. She is an elected
member of both the Swedish Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences
