The FAU SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) Student Chapter
SIAM reading group this semester!
Our mission is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations among undergraduate and graduate students across STEM fields. This time, we are hosting a miniseries of up to five talks focusing on machine learning (ML), ML model architectures, and their applications in fields such as biology, medical sciences, and geophysics.
📅 Next Meeting: March 17, 2025 (Monday)
Speaker: Mathew Trang
📅 Frequency: Every other Monday
🕒 Time: 4:00 – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Science Building, Room SE 215
We’d love to hear from you! Refreshments and snacks will be provided at each meeting.
If you're interested in joining, please reply to siam@fau.edu . For any questions, feel free to reach out via email or contact our SIAM faculty advisor, Dr. Francis Motta (fmotta@fau.edu).
Looking forward to seeing you there!
