In line with its commitment to bringing mathematics closer to society and fostering scientific vocations among younger individuals, BCAM welcomed the visit of two high schools: Botikazar BHI and Artaza-Romo BHI, the latter within the framework of the 'Emakumeak Zientzian' initiative. 

Both visits were led by Leire Garmendia and Mikel Pérez, researchers at BCAM, who explained the day-to-day aspects of their work and engaged students through group dynamics, making mathematics approachable and enjoyable through teamwork.

Under the umbrella of the Basque Government's IKUR quantum initiative, distinguished international experts in quantum technologies are giving outreach talks in Bilbao and Donostia. The next stop of this series will be the first week of March in Donostia (March 7th, Josebe Olarra DIPC's Seminar Room) and Bilbao (Bibebarrieta Auditorium, March 8th).

The project is funded by NSF's 'Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH)' program and in it, Urteaga and the international research team will investigate Human-Centered Reinforcement Learning (RL).

NSF-SCH supports the development of high-risk, high-reward, transformative breakthroughs in computer and data science, mathematics, and statistics research to address pressing questions in the biomedical and public health communities.

Lore Zumeta Olaskoaga received her Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea / Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) in 2016 and her Master’s degree in Statistics and Operations Research  from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and Universitat de Barcelona (UPC and UB) in 2018. 

Carlos Uriarte received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics in 2018 and a Master’s degree in Computational Engineering and Intelligent Systems in 2019 from the University of the Basque Country. He joined BCAM in 2019 as an Intern, then as a Research Technician, and finally as a PhD Student in 2020.

IN-DEEP, a MSCA Doctoral Network project for training PhD students in Deep Learning techniques, has been launched. The kick-off meeting took place on February 1st. The aim of IN-DEEP is to enhance training and research in new deep learning technologies for inverse problems.

The project is coordinated by researcher David Pardo (UPV/EHU), with coordination from BCAM led by postdoctoral researcher Judit Muñoz Matute.

Speaker: Isabel Wiemer (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany)
