Ian Sloan to be a plenary speaker at ICIAM 2015

We are proud to announce the exciting news that Professor Ian Sloan will be a plenary speaker at the 2015 International Congress for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM), to be held in Beijing.

As the premier international congress in the field of applied mathematics, ICIAM generally boasts several thousand participants at its conferences which are held every four years.

Ian is one of 27 invited speakers, selected by the Scientific Program Committee of ICIAM 2015 and approved by the ICIAM Board. ICIAM’s website states that, “As an important part of ICIAM 2015, these invited speakers will highlight the most recent advances in mathematics and demonstrate their applicability to science, engineering, and industry. In addition to the traditional, strong focus on applied mathematics, these speakers will emphasize industrial applications and computational science”.

Ian has had a long association with ICIAM. He was Chair of the Scientific Program Committee at the Sydney Congress in 2003. He also previously spent four years as President of the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the body that oversees the Congresses.

It is a huge honour to be invited as a plenary speaker at ICIAM, which is commonly viewed as the “Olympics” of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. We congratulate Ian and wish him well for ICIAM 2015.
