Summer School on

Waves: Modeling, Analysis, and Numerics

August 25–29, 2025

Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

From large-scale natural events such as earthquakes and tsunamis to the intricate realm of nano-optical devices and medical imaging, the development of reliable mathematical models and efficient numerical methods for understanding and simulating wave phenomena—along with the accompanying numerical analysis and fast algorithms—lies at the core of modern scientific discoveries and technological advancements. This summer school will offer a comprehensive overview of various mathematical aspects of wave phenomena through six short courses. Participants will also have an opportunity to share their research in a poster session.

The school is organized by the Strategic research initiative ‘Advancing Mathematical Methods for Wave Phenomena’, funded by 4TU.AMI. The initiative aims to foster research innovation in the Netherlands and address pressing challenges in wave propagation analysis and its applications.
