"OPTEX: Workshop on Optimal Experimental design in engineering"
October 8-9, 2007
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
More information on the workshop website.
Aim:
This workshop wants to bring researchers with interests in optimal experimental design (OED) together, that work in various fields of engineering including chemical, biochemical, and mechanical engineering. The workshop is organized in two days.
The first day is a tutorial day introducing the principles of optimal experimental design for nonlinear model identification using a series of examples and software exercises (guest teacher: Stefan Koerkel, Humboldt University Berlin). This day is an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with OED for newcomers, and to learn how to use state-of-the-art software for nonlinear parameter estimation and OED.
The second day will be a scientific day. Several invited speakers will present their work on OED, and there is the possibility to present your own work in form of a talk (limited places) or a poster. In case you are interested, please submit a title and short abstract (plain text, max. 250 words) to Christian Hoffmann.

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
