Computational mathematics involves mathematical research in areas of science where computing plays a central and essential role, emphasizing algorithms, numerical methods, and symbolic methods. Computation in the research is prominent and the goal of computational mathematics is to find or develop algorithms/methods that solve mathematical problems computationally: Numerical solutions of differential equations, inverse problems, optimization, scientific computing, approximation theory, and uncertainty quantification. Some applications include astrophysics, atmospheric science, solar cell research, ground water flow (porous media), imaging and signal processing. Computational mathematics may include but not limited to the following topics:

  • Algorithmic game theory
  • Algorithms for high performance computers
  • Approximation theory
  • Artificial Intelligence

Virtual Symposium on Molecular Dynamics

Chairperson: Dr Yee Siew Choong ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Molecular dynamics simulation predicts the physical movement of the atoms in a system where the Second Law of Thermodynamics is applied to calculate the properties of the atoms with the function of time. It is one of the popular tools in a variety of theoretical fields including the biological, chemical, physical, material and earth sciences. Suggested topics may be related but not limited to enhanced sampling methods, extended MD, ab initio MD as well as the application of MD methods.


Virtual Symposium on Cybersecurity Computational Foundations

Chairperson: Dr Ryma Abassi ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

The recent rise of emerging networking technologies such as social networks, content centric networks, IoT networks, etc. have attracted lots of attention from academia as well as industry. In fact, the attractiveness of such networks leads to the increase of security risks in particularly privacy and security threats. Suggested topics may be related but not limited to quantum cryptography, mobile and wireless security, software security and networking.


Virtual Symposium on Data Science

Chairperson: Mr Ruben Thoplan ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

Data Science is a relatively recent field which has startedt to foster huge interest among both the academic community and the industry. It includes a spectrum of already established disciplines such as statistics, machine learning, and computer science. Data science has become even more dynamic these last few years with the advent the Internet of Things. The applications of data science is wide including chemistry, business, health sciences and many more other fields. Data science may include but not limited to the following topics:

  • Data visualisation
  • Artifical Intelligence
  • Computational Statistics
