This book presents a selection of the talks resulting from research carried out by different groups at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica and presented at the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, held in Valencia in 2019. The various chapters describe a wide variety of topics: cancer modelling, carbon capture by adsorption, nanoscale diffusion and complex systems to predict earthquakes. These mathematical studies were specifically aided via collaborations with biomedical engineers, physicists and chemists. The book is addressed to researchers in all of these areas as well as in general mathematical modelling.

Includes three chapters with mathematical models where diffusion processes are involved Includes a chapter on dynamical systems applied to cancer treatment Includes a chapter on the use of statistical tools to study power-law distributions in complex systems

Autorentext

Francesc Font received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2014 and he is currently a Juan de la Cierva research fellow at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica. He specialises in the mathematical modelling of transport phenomena and has worked on topics such as nanoscale heat transfer, Li-ion batteries, or cell motility. Part of his research is in collaboration with industry and he has been involved in industrial mathematics workshops throughout Europe.  Tim Myers is a Senior Researcher at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica, Adjunct Professor at U.  Politecnica de Catalunya and Adjunct Professor of Industrial Mathematics at U. Limerick. He has been involved in a wide variety of Industrial Mathematics initiatives and is currently the co-ordinator for all European Study Groups with Industry.  He is a co-author of "Optics Near Surfaces and at the Nanometer Scale" and has written over 90 journal publications on a range of applied mathematics topics.
