About the event
The Victorian branch of the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society (VicANZIAM) is delighted to announce a one-day meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society.
In this event, we will bring together applied and industrial mathematicians from a broad range of backgrounds and at various career stages. We will host four plenary speakers from government, industry and academia. The workshop will also include a poster session open to students and postdoctoral researchers to present work in progress. There will be a $250 prize for the best student poster.
Plenary speakers
We are honoured to host the following plenary speakers:
Dr Elena Tartaglia
Dr Elena Tartaglia is a Senior Data Scientist at the Victorian Government Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. She works in Bushfire and Forest Services, using statistical modelling to improve bushfire preparedness. Elena’s background is in applied maths and mathematical physics, and she previously worked at CSIRO’s Data61.
Dr Rebecca Chisholm (La Trobe)
Rebecca is a Senior Lecturer at La Trobe University. She has a PhD in mathematical biology from the University of Melbourne, and held postdoctoral appointments at the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA), the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of New South Wales and the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health at the University of Melbourne. Her research is collaborative and interdisciplinary, and most recently involves the development and use of mathematical models to investigate infectious disease transmission and control.

Poster session
A poster session for students and postdoctoral researchers will be a focus of the event. This was a particular highlight of 2022 and 2023’s workshops. The session will begin with a “lightning round”. Each poster presenter will give a 2-3 minute advertisement accompanied by one slide. This will be followed by the poster session proper.
A title and abstract will need to be submitted by 20th May 2023. There will be a $250 prize for the best student presenter.
The physical posters can be of any size and format, but no larger than vertical A0 (841 x 1188 mm). The poster boards at the venue can be used with either pins or Velcro. It is recommended that your bring your own Velcro.
