BIOREME have teamed up with The Insigneo Institute and The Knowledge Transfer Network to deliver a study group in mathematical modelling.
The study group will bring together 30 – 50 research scientists working in academia (expected minimum PhD candidate level) with expertise in mathematical modelling to work intensively for 3.5 days on real-world problems from industry and clinical settings. The main goal of the study group is to provide an interface between companies, clinicians and mathematicians to develop mathematical tools to solve the problems presented. You can find out more about the history and benefit of Study Groups in The Institute of Mathematics article “Study Groups with Industry: What is the Value?”
Where:
Day 1, 17 April, Workroom 3, The Diamond, The University of Sheffield, S3 7RD
Day 2 - 4, 18 - 20 April, John Carr Design Suite, The Portobello Centre, The University of Sheffield, S1 4DT
When: 17 April 2023 - 20 April 2023
Cost: Registration is free. Lunch and refreshments are provided throughout the event. You can apply to our Event Support Fund when you register if travel and accommodation costs are a barrier for your attendance.
Research Challenges
We are delighted to publish the research challenges that will be tackled in this study group presented by Industry. These challenges fall within the theme of lung function measurement:
Challenge 1: Remote monitoring to predict and prevent COPD exacerbations. Submitted by Global Access Diagnostics
Challenge 2: Audio-phenotyping of patients using mobile-phone recordings. Submitted by Eupnoos
Challenge 3: Accurate inference of airway mechanics from impulse oscillometry data. Submitted by Arete Medical Technologies
-
BIOREME invite you to submit your real world challenges to be tackled by research scientists with expertise in mathematical modelling.
Please look at the Challenge Owners Booklet for more information on the Study Group Format, example challenges and challenge submission process.
Key Dates
31/01/23: Submission deadline
01/02/23 – 20/02/23: Interviews/discussion
28/02/23: Selection of challenges
01/03/23 – 31/03/23: Revision and refinement process
Costs
There is no cost to participate as an Industry or Clinical Representative submitting a challenge. Reasonable travel and accommodation costs can be covered by BIOREME where this is a barrier to your attendance.
Challenge Owners Booklet
Challenge submission for this study group has now closed, but there are still places to participate as a researcher, see below.
-
We invite academic researchers (at least PhD candidate level or equivalent) to register for this event. We welcome researchers from a range of backgrounds including statistical methods, biomechanics, biophysics, computational modelling, medical imaging and lung function/ breath content measurement.
Participants are not required to have specific experience in the real-world challenges presented, they must have relevant transferrable skills (in the areas listed above) to tackle new challenges in their domain of expertise.
More information can be found in Participants Information Booklet which will be updated with challenge information as these become available.
Key Dates
01/03/23: Confirmation of Challenges from industry and clinicians
24/03/23: Deadline for application to event support fund
06/04/2023: Deadline for registration
Costs
There is no cost to participate as an academic researcher. You will be provided with lunch and refreshments each day, there will also be a drinks reception and an evening meal provided on day 1.
Travel and accommodation costs are not covered but you can apply to our Event Support Fund when registering.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your participation in this event as an academic researcher, industry or clinical representative please don’t hesitate to contact the BIOREME team at contact@bioreme.net
