During the semester break while students spend time on mastering the content of the semester for their exams, researchers have more time to spend on advancing research projects without any teaching. On Monday, 5 February 2024, a group of researchers in Combinatorics gathered to share progress updates and ideas relating to projects they are working on in what is hoped to be an annual event.
University mathematics is creative. Sarah Jane Selkirk, who came to Klagenfurt from South Africa as a doctoral student in 2020 and completed her doctorate as part of the doc.funds doctoral school “Modeling – Analysis – Optimisation of discrete, continuous, and stochastic systems”, is particularly keen to solve puzzles in an imaginative way. On 7 December 2023, she was presented with the Award of Excellence.
At present, an ÖBB dispatcher still has to manually assign empty freight wagons to requests from clients. The aim of the project “Partially Automated Empty Wagon Dispatching” is to support this process with software that suggests optimal utilisation. The research forms part of the TARO project, with which ÖBB aims to leverage automation and digitalisation to increase its capacities, boost productivity and thereby ensure high quality.
Congratulations to Irene Tubikanec, who was awarded for the “Kepler Student Award for Excellent Teaching” at JKU Linz.
