In principle, the Council pays for the Officers’ ex- penses, which include flying halfway around the world for some of us. Fortunately for the budget, we are often able to combine these trips with other business to lessen the burden on ICIAM, or to find additional sponsors. For these we are very grateful.

We start the series with translate mathematics in practical implementations? this interview, by Roberto Natalini, of Annalisa Buffa, A: I do interact directly, and it all depends on the problem winner of the 2015 ICIAM Collatz Prize. at hand. The greater the sophistication of the numerical tools needed to simulate a desired phenomena, the more Q: How have you decided to become a mathematician? likely the common language is one of mathematics. Then, A: I studied computer engineering at the University and we can be useful, directly. I realized I really loved analysis thanks to my teachers in Calculus and Advanced Calculus. Q: Who have been your teachers and mentors? A: At the beginning, surely my Calculus teacher (Prof. Gianni Gilardi) was quite a reference for me. I did my PhD with Prof. Franco Brezzi and since then (1996), he has been my mentor, my teacher, my coach. Q: Recently you have been awarded the prestigious ICIAM Collatz Prize, which aims to recognize individual scien- tists under 42, for their outstanding work on industrial and applied mathematics. You have been the first woman to receive this prize and in the motivations we read: “in recognition of her spectacular use of deep and sophisti- cated mathematical concepts to obtain outstanding con- tributions to the development of computer simulations in science and industry.” Could you explain what is the main focus of your research? What are the applications of your results and what are, according to your feeling, the main breakthrough you have achieved? A: The focus of my research is numerical methods for partial differential equations, with a special attention to electromagnetic wave propagation and, more in general, to problems having a specific geometric structure. More recently I have been involved in the design of numerical methods based on splines and on the link between ge- ometric modelling and numerical methods for PDEs. I Q: Some years ago you were also awarded with a European think I managed to improve on the existing techniques a Reaserch Council (ERC) Starting Grant, now completed few times, and the theories and the methods I proposed in due time.

Pardalos (University of Florida) Editor–Combinatorial Optimization Ding-Zhu Du (University of Texas at Dallas) Advisory Board J. Birge (University of Chicago) C.A. Floudas (Princeton University) F. Giannessi (University of Pisa) H.D. Sherali (Virginia Polytechnic and State University) T. Terlaky (McMaster University) Y. Ye (Stanford University) Aims and Scope Optimization has been expanding in all directions at an astonishing rate dur- ing the last few decades. New algorithmic and theoretical techniques have been developed, the diffusion into other disciplines has proceeded at a rapid pace, and our knowledge of all aspects of the field has grown even more profound. At the same time, one of the most striking trends in optimization is the constantly increasing emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Optimization has been a basic tool in all areas of applied mathematics, engineering, medicine, economics and other sciences. The series Optimization and Its Applications publishes undergraduate and graduate textbooks, monographs and state-of-the-art expository works that focus on algorithms for solving optimization problems and also study applications involving such problems. Some of the topics covered include nonlinear optimization (convex and nonconvex), network flow problems, stochastic optimization, optimal control, discrete optimization, multiobjec- tive programming, description of software packages, approximation tech- niques and heuristic approaches.

    Vol. 12 :: No. 2 :: Apr – Jun 2017 Message from the Chairman Dear IEEE Members, I am indeed happy that the second issue of the IEEE India Council Newsletter is being published on time. It shows that IEEE IC team is going ahead with purpose very strongly. For this reason my appreciation to all who contribute to make this happen. Google offers an Applied CS with Android an educational program designed to give college juniors and seniors an opportunity to enhance their knowledge of data structures and algorithms in a hands-on way. Google conducted a weeklong pilot program at G H Raisoni College of Engineering as requested by IEEE IC. Now the program has been named as ‘Google IEEE India Council Applied CS program’. This program is open to any IEEE student/YP/WIE/GSM, who has attended one course in Java and advances in algorithms. The program will be launched nationwide in July/August 2017 at 100 branches in India. I appeal to all section Chairs to make this program a grand success. For any clarification, please write to IEEE IC Secretary. IEEE IC will give the following awards in 2017 for which VC, Awards, has made necessary arrangements: a) IEEE India Council Outstanding Student Branch Award and b) IEEE India Council Outstanding Volunteer Award. At the IEEE IC, discussions are at advanced level to institute sponsored IC Awards under IC-WIE AG. IC has principally approved instituting the awards. These IC awards will be in line with IEEE awards and will follow IEEE awards guidelines. VC, Industry Relations, has a busy schedule to engage Industry Partners with sections/institutions/ organizations for five programs, which will be made known in due course of time.

This is a part of a series of conferences held at SQU once every three years. The first conference (NAO-2008) was held in April 6 − 8, 2008, the second conference (NAOII-2011) was held in January 3 − 6, 2011, the third conference (NAOIII-2104) was held in January 5 − 8, 2014 and the fourth conference (NAOIV-2017) was held in January 2-5, 2017. We hope this conference series will become a forum where prominent scientists and experts gather to simulate the commu- nication of innovative ideas and knowledge on new scientific methodologies. As well as that, promote scientific exchanges and discuss possibilities of further cooperation, networking and promotion of mobility of senior and young researchers and research students. This conference will feature some of the recent research developments in theory, algo- rithms, and advanced applications in engineering, science and medicine to facilitate interdis- ciplinary research among various key sectors of pure scientific and applied knowledge.
