A connection between University of Hamburg and SIAM existed long before our Chapter! Co-organized by Jun.-Prof. Winnifried Wollner of University of Hamburg, the Faculty Advisor of our Chapter, the Gene Golub SIAM Summer School on Simulation, Optimization, and Identification in Solid Mechanics, held August 2014 in Linz, Austria, gave inspiration for the founding of our SIAM Chapter. The Lectures, supplemented with theoretical and practical exercises, covered inverse problems, material and topology optimization, optimization subject to variational inequalities, and adaptive finite element methods. Topped off with social activities from a city tour to an excursion to Linz's famous steel plant it was a great experience for all participants. You can read more on this Summer School in SIAM News.
