We are pleased to announce that Peter and Michael's project "Coupled renormalized integrals for snow and proteins: do all path integrals lead to Rome?" was selected for funding as a Wildcard by the Carl Zeiss Foundation. Wildcard is a program of the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung to give interdisciplinary teams the opportunity to freely bring forward unconventional research ideas at a very early stage. Their moto is One ‘Wild’ Idea – Three Scientists – Maximum Freedom.
Congratulations to both of them!

Dr. Arpit Babbar has just been awarded a Humboldt Fellowship to work on the project "Discontinuous Galerkin methods for atmospheric flows", hosted by Prof. Hendrik Ranocha in the Institute of Mathematics. He joined JGU and M3ODEL by mid-2024. Congratulations, Arpit!
The Metamorphic Processes Research Group (MPRG) at the Institute of Geoscience, JGU Mainz, invites applications for a PhD position in the field of Metamorphic Processes. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of computational methods and geological sciences.
Understanding natural processes involves the ability to solve complex systems of equations (partial differential equations – PDEs) in order to predict the time evolution of highly interacting systems. Nowadays, modern programming languages, like Julia, allow the development of fast, high-level algorithms. The successful candidate will focus on the development and application of computational methods related to PDE-constrained optimization in relation to porous fluid flow and metamorphic reactions. This approach allows the integration of geological/petrological/geophysical data in a unified framework.
You will work within a dynamic and interdisciplinary team, utilizing state-of-the-art computational tools to model and simulate the complex phenomena driving metamorphic transformations.

M3ODEL is happy to announce that the Numerics Seminar will host Valentin Churavy, MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Valenting is an active member of the Julia Lab, which focuses on theoretical and numerical aspects of the core Julia language, base library, and several other packages.
The seminar will take place at 17 hs. on Thursday December 21st, Hilbertraum 05-432, Staudingerweg 9, JGU Mainz.
Following the successful workshop of October 2023, Professor E. Moulas from the Institute for Geosciences offers a workshop on modeling chemical diffusion with applications to problems in geochemistry. It will take place from 11 to 15 of March 2024 in the Inst. for Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz.
Over the past years, the development of computers and analytical equipment has made inverse diffusion modelling a very important tool in Geosciences. In this workshop, the participants will learn to develop numerical codes “from scratch” in order to solve diffusion problems for petrological applications. The overall schedule of the course is as follows:
1) Introduction to diffusion problems - analytical solutions and simple numerical implementations.
2) Introduction to time-transformation techniques - applications of Geospeedometry and Diffusion Chronometry.
3) Introduction to the Finite Element Method in 1-D.
4) Diffusion Couples and the application to Geospeedometry.
5) Non-linear (concentration dependent) and/or (depending on time) Multicomponent Solution implementations.
During the 5 days of the workshop the participants will develop their own diffusion codes that could be used in answering real-research questions. The participants will also learn how to benchmark their codes using available analytical solutions.
The registration fee is 80EUR per person.Members of the Deutsche Mineralogische Gesellschaft (DMG) receive a 50% discount.

Lukas Stelzl has an open PhD position to work on bimolecular modeling. The project is called
Please send your CV, motivation letter and other relevant documents to Dr. Lukas Stelzl before November 30th 2020 or contact him for further information.
We held the PI annual meeting on Monday August 31, 2020 at the Kloster Wasem in Ingelheim.
The schedule included the presentation of the new PI and of the PhD joint projects. Some PIs participated remotely.
Prof. Siegfried Waldvogel also participated as a special speaker and shared his experience as a leader of interdisciplinary projects like SusInno Science.
