Research collaboration between UD and Universities in Chile

UNIDEL Professors of Mathematical Sciences David Colton and Peter Monk will collaborate with Dr. Jessika Camano from the Centro de Investigación en Ingeniería Matemática (CI²MA) at the University of Concepcio. Dr. Camano also has a position as an academic researcher in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Physics of the Catholic University of the Most Holy Conception (UCSC) in Concepcion. At the beginning of September, Dr. Camano started a three-month visit to the University of Delaware. Dr. Camano works on computational electromagnetism and while at Delaware she is collaborating with Professors David Colton and Peter Monk on a problem in inverse electromagnetic scattering. Dr. Camano will give a seminar in the department’s "Numerical Analysis and Partial Differential Equations" seminar. Her visit to Delaware is funded by the Chilean Project Linkages with the Academy of Conicyt No. 79130048, which is led by Prof. Gatica from CI²MA, and by the Fondecyt Research Project Initiation No. 11140691. This visit extends and strengthens ties between the University of Concepción and the UCSC, and in particular CI²MA, and the University of Delaware. This collaboration was initiated almost 30 years ago and includes mutual visits of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdocs and researchers.
