MIRI: Some 70 professionals including engineers, technologists, researchers and students from all over the world will be in Miri to attend an international conference on Analysis and Mathematical Applications in Engineering and Science (AMAES) on Jan19 to 22.

The conference is hosted by Curtin Sarawak Research Institute (CSRI) in collaboration with Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) with the support of the Sarawak Convention Bureau and Sarawak Energy Berhad.

It will cover a spectrum of mathematical analysis and applications in engineering and science.

Among the speakers are Louis Caccetta from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of Curtin University; and David Carmichael from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering of University of New South Wales.

According to outgoing director of CSRI, Professor Aaron Goh, the conference will serve as a platform to put Miri City on the map for innovation and technological advancement in collaboration with top scientists around the world.

He added that in the past, CSRI research fellows have contributed to a number of key conferences in the region, including Dr Amandeep Sidhu Singh who co-organised the Biomedical Data Infrastructure International Symposium in Kuching and Dr Lisa Marie King who presented a paper at the 13th East Asia Inter-Regional Tourism Forum in Luang Prabang, Laos.

“One of the roles of CSRI is to promote partnership between campuses of Curtin University and external partners including academics and the various industries.
