Studentship Department of Electronic and Information Engineering The Hong Kong Polytechnic University An opportunity exists for a Ph.D. or M.Phil. studentship in the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Applicants should have a good undergraduate degree in a mathematical or computational discipline and an interest in persuing academic research in one of the following areas: chaos communication techniques, nonlinear channel identification and noise reduction, or nonlinear time series analysis and applications of computational nonlinear dynamics in physiology (e.g. human ventricular fibrillation or speech). Further information on the department, the university and Hong Kong should be obtained from the web. Details of related research may be found at http://small.eie.polyu.edu.hk/ The studentship is competitive and covers university fees and the cost of living in Hong Kong. The position is available immediately and must be filled no later than September. Interested individuals should email Dr. Michael Small (ensmall@polyu.edu.hk) and include a brief statement of research interests and a CV. ------ Subject: Workshop, Space Mission Design and Dynamical Systems From: Kathrin Padberg Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2002 12:47:34 +0200 FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT SPACE DAYS: Space Mission Design and Dynamical Systems University of Paderborn, Germany, September 30 - October 1, 2002 ************************************************************************* TOPICS: The main intention for this workshop is to bring together scientists both from (applied) Space Mission Design and from Dynamical Systems to exchange new ideas and to develop new computational techniques. A particular emphasis will be on swing-by technology, on formation flights, and on the design of interplanetary missions. Also dynamical systems and computational techniques for astrodynamical problems, such as transport in the solar system will be addressed. ************************************************************************* ORGANIZERS: Michael Dellnitz (Paderborn), Martin W.
