| Abstract for Research Report |
The Forum of Mathematics for Industry 2024 (FMfI2024), held as part of the International Symposium on Mathematics for Industry 2024 (ISMI2024), convened 112 participants from academia, government, and industry across Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Germany, Thailand, and Malaysia, with some joining virtually. Guided by the theme “Mathematical Evolution Guiding Industrial Innovation Futures”, the event provided a platform for addressing industrial challenges through applied mathematics, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Quality Education (SDG 4) and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9). This aligns with the Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI), Kyushu University, which emphasizes uncovering new mathematical problems, developing innovative techniques, and enriching the field of mathematics through collaborative efforts with industry. FMfI serves as a platform where real-world industrial challenges are presented to mathematicians, sparking the identification of novel mathematical problems. Issues such as optimizing semiconductor manufacturing, modelling fluid dynamics in porous media, and addressing systemic risks in financial markets expose gaps in existing mathematical theories and encourage the formulation of new problems. Industry-inspired challenges, such as those involving stochastic differential equations for pandemics or integrable differential geometry for design, are grounded in practical needs, prompting researchers to expand the boundaries of mathematical knowledge. Key discussions highlighted advancements in mathematical modelling, stochastic modelling, decision analysis and analytics, and non-linear programming. Topics included the application of integrable differential geometry in industrial design, stochastic modelling for pandemic predictions and financial analysis, and the NURBS-Lagrange Finite Element Method for enhancing computational engineering. Presenters also explored the use of Bayesian methods and spatial statistics in addressing environmental challenges and fostering sustainable innovation. The forum emphasized the integration of mathematics with real-world applications, such as optimizing semiconductor manufacturing, advancing agricultural water management, and improving petroleum engineering. A poster session featuring young researchers showcased innovations in mathematical optimisation and convective heat flux analysis, fostering talent development through awards and internship opportunities. FMfI2024 demonstrated the critical role of mathematics in bridging academia, industry, and government, driving progress in industrial innovation and global competitiveness. Through cross-disciplinary collaboration, the forum advanced educational frameworks, sustainable practices, and cutting-edge research, reinforcing mathematics as a cornerstone for addressing complex societal and industrial challenges. In general, participants agreed they benefited significantly from the program, with some suggesting that future conferences include more topics on the advancements in artificial intelligence and optimisation. |
