Event Date : 16^th - 18^th October 2024

The three-day International Conference was organised by the Department of Mathematics and focussed on Computational Mathematics and Advances in Modern Technology - ICCMAMT-2024 between 16-18 October 2024 through Hybrid Mode. The Conference hosted experts such as Prof. Sanjeewa Perera, Department of Mathematics, University of Colombo; Prof. Wutiphol Sintunavarat, Faculty of Science and Technology, Thammasat University, Bangokk, Thailand; Prof. Uditha Prabhath Liyanage, Department of Statistics and Computer Science, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka.

In his inaugural address, Pro. Perera, discussed the evolution of computational mathematics and it’s need for tackling difficult real-world issues. Through his keynote address, Prof. Sintunavarat demonstrated how mathematical modelling and technological advancements can resolve global problems. On the other hand, Prof. Liyanage stressed on the need for cross-disciplinary research to solve technical problems, emphasizing on collaboration to spur innovation and progress.

The first day of the conference deliberated on Design Insurance Model to Assess Dengue Transmission” – an invited online talk delivered by Prof. Sanjeewa Perera. The second lecture was delivered by Prof. Radha R, Department of Mathematics, IIT Madras, Chennai, on “Invertibility of Infinite Band Matrices and Solutions of their Operator Equations.” The lectures on second day were delivered by Prof. Wutiphol Sintunavarat, on “Computational and Visualizations of Fractals using Novel Method with Iterative Schemes in Fixed Point Theory”; Mr. Satheesh Rajamani, Senior Vice President and Head Product Business Division, BGR Energy Systems, on “Applications of Mathematics in our Daily Life”; Mr. Magesh Venkataramani, Executive Director, Deloitte Technology Consulting, Chennai on “IT Trends & Challenges in the Industry and Industry Expectations.” In addition to these, an online guest lecture was delivered by Prof. Ismail Naci Cangul, Department of Mathematics, Bursa Uludag University, Turkey on “Problems in Graph theory Related to Omega Invariant” in online mode.

On the third day, a discussion on collaborative research was held between the delegates and the university officials represented by Dr. Susan Eliyas, Director Research; Dr. David T. Easow, Deputy Director, International Affairs; Dr. D. Piriadarshani, Head – Department of Science and Humanities, Dr, R. Sundarajan, Professor, and Dr. V. Govind from the Department of Mathematics.
