Three professors, who are top experts in PDE and applications in the US, will teach three summer courses. The three courses will run from 22/7/2024 to 26/7/2024. Each course will have about 4 lectures of one hour each. Here is a tentative list of the three lecturers (to be confirmed).
1. Suzanne Lenhart (UTK):

Suzanne Lenhart is a Chancellor's Professor of Mathematics and Cox Professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Dr. Lenhart was AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer in 1997, and AWM/SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecturer in 2010 in recognition of her significant research in partial differential equations, ordinary differential equations, and optimal control. She was elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2010 and became a SIAM Fellow in 2011. In 2013, she was selected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) in the inaugural class. In 2017, she was selected as a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the inaugural class. Very recently, Dr. Lenhart just delivered the AMS Josiah Willard Gibbs Lecture at the Joint Math Meeting 2024.
2. Khai Tien Nguyen (NCSU):
