Many dynamical systems in physics and other fields possess some form of geometric structure, such as Lagrangian or Hamiltonian structure, symmetries, and conservation laws. Geometric numerical integration describes the research field that aims at developing numerical algorithms for solving such systems while preserving their geometric structure. Usually, such algorithms show greatly reduced errors and better long-time stability than non-structure-preserving algorithms. Scientific machine learning is a relatively new research field that aims at using machine learning methods for the solution of differential equations. In this presentation, we will explore how ideas of geometric numerical integration can be brought forward to the realms of scientific machine learning to make machine learning methods more robust. The talk starts with a brief review of numerical approximation and integration. Then, important mathematical structures of Hamiltonian systems will be reviewed, and the consequences of their non-preservation in numerical simulations highlighted. Basic structure-preserving algorithms for canonical Hamiltonian systems will be introduced and compared with their non-structure-preserving counterparts. In the second part of the talk, different approaches to using machine learning techniques for the solution of differential equations will be described. After exploring once more the consequences of disregarding the structure of the dynamical system, we will discuss how geometric structure can be incorporated into machine learning methods such as neural networks. The talk will close with an outlook on training-free algorithms. [mehr]

The Python programming language and its software ecosystem have become very popular in scientific computing for various reasons. Users not only implement prototypes for numerical experiments on small scales, but also develop parallel production codes, thereby partly replacing compiled languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. However, when following this approach it is crucial to pay special attention to performance. [mehr]

In this workshop the process of academic writing is highlighted from the first idea through the structuring and formation of the text to its completion. You engage with the content related, formal and organisational aspects of writing and train your text competency with exercises. [mehr]

Plagiarism and falsification of data by researchers have been in the news repeatedly over recent years. The internet allows knowledge to become a mobile and easily re-packaged good. Even though deliberate academic misconduct is not representative, good scientific practice presents a series of difficult questions, and nagging problems for researchers and accidental breaches can happen.

After completion of the thesis, personally defending it presents a new challenge for the doctoral candidate. For many, oral examinations are associated with nerves and worries about blackouts. However, they quickly lose their horror if systematic preparation is started in good time. [mehr]

For the Career Dialogue we invite people with different backgrounds who will initially tell about themselves, their career or their networks and will then answer your questions and engage in a dialogue with you. The purpose of the Career Dialogue is to provide insight into different career paths, to bring you in contact with people outside IPP and to enhance our networks in all directions - science, industry, entrepreneurship, science management.

The supervision of doctoral candidates is a challenge, an opportunity and a privilege all at once. But how to ensure productive supervision? [mehr]

Good projects need money in order to be put into practice. In light of limited public funding, the securing of sources of financial support – whether classic science-funding organisations, foundations or companies – is an important task, especially in the academic and non-profit sectors. But for many early-career scientists writing grant applications is a difficult task. [mehr]

In the workshop the necessary application standards are conveyed and new developments are explained. With the help of structured input and selected examples from practice, the participants are prepared for a successful approach to the application process. [mehr]
