Welcome to the course! The schedule for the course can be
found in TimeEdit.
There will not be lectures at all scheduled times - see
Programme below.
Instead, students will meet with external partners at convenient
times,
and meet regularly with Alexei for intermediate reports and for
supervision.
The course material and in particular texts of the projects from
enterprices will be available on PingPong. To access
it, you must register for the course.

Course coordinator: Alexei Heintz, heintz{at}chalmers.se
Supervision of statistics related projects: Sebastian
Jobjörnsson, jobjorns{at}chalmers.se
Course literature
Presentations at lectures and literature (mainly research
papers) for individual projects.
Titles
of the projects with areas of applications specified will

Program
The main idea of this course is that you should practice the
role as mathematics/statistics consultants for industry and
reserach-related projects. The main part therefore consists of
working on your projects, meeting with your external partners
and with the course coordinator as necessary.
Main areas of applications and methods:
- Image processing for material science
- Deterministic data analysis and parametrization
- Stochastic data analysis and parametrization
- Discrete and continuous optimization
- Classical mechanics models, ODE
- Diffusion and heat transport in heterogeneous media
- Microfluidics for biological applications
Projects list:
- Astra Zeneca: Image processing 2D to 3D pore structure
- Astra Zeneca: vapor diffusion in a porous IBS structure
- Astra Zeneca: Image segmentation of 3-d tomography of a tablet
- Mölnlycke healthcare: Silver ions diffusion for wound healing
- SCA-Essity - Virtual structures generation and nongrid
approximations
- VOLVO cars: Neural network model of RC Car
- VOLVO cars: Clustering Methods for radar scattering
- TETRA PACK 1: virtual cooking of beans - Tetra Recart
- TETRA PACK 2: thermal simulation of polymers
- TETRA PACK 3: thermal packages life simulator
- Jepessen: Mandatory vs Forbid rules for flight planning
- Utilifeed: optimization of district heating grids
- MC2: ions profile in a flow from micro nozzle for vesicle stimulation
- MC2: simulation of a microfluidic chip for chemotaxis
- Absordim: Moisture transport in ship containers
- Statistics for doctors
Projects descriptions are available for students registered at the course as Activity documents in PING PONG.

Course requirements
The learning goals of the course can be found in the course
plan.
To pass the course you must
- Hand in a project plan for your project according to
instructions.
- Hand in a preliminary report according to instructions for
feedback
- Present your project results in an oral presentation (about
20 min)
- Report your project in a scientific report according to instructions.
- Write a reflection on "communication across interdisciplinary boundaries during the course" according to instructions.
Examination
The course is passed when all course requirements are met (see
above).
Grades will be given based mainly on the final project report
and on the feedback from the industrial partners, but oral
presentations and work during the project will also be weighed
in.
The report should be a full high-quality report written in
English according to
instructions.
Examination procedures
In Chalmers Student Portal you can read about when exams are given and what rules apply on exams at Chalmers. In addition to that, there is a schedule when exams are given for courses at University of Gothenburg.
Before the exam, it is important that you sign up for the
examination. If you study at Chalmers, you will do this by the
Chalmers Student Portal, and if you study at University of
Gothenburg, you sign up via GU's
Student Portal.
At the exam, you should be able to show valid identification.
After the exam has been graded, you can see your results in Ladok by logging on to your Student portal.
At the annual (regular) examination:
When it is practical, a separate review is arranged. The date of
the review will be announced here on the course homepage. Anyone
who can not participate in the review may thereafter retrieve
and review their exam at the Mathematical
Sciences Student office. Check that you have the right
grades and score. Any complaints about the marking must be
submitted in writing at the office, where there is a form to
fill out.
At re-examination:
Exams are reviewed and retrieved at the Mathematical
Sciences Student office. Check that you have the right
grades and score. Any complaints about the marking must be
submitted in writing at the office, where there is a form to
fill out.
