Matthew Tam

@ed_gorbunov Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Mathematical or Statistical Data Science at the University of Melbourne mathjobs.org/jobs/list/23751

I am on the job market for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor position! I work on optimization (stochastic optimization, distributed optimization, min-max problems/variational inequalities). If you are aware of some great options, please DM me. My website: eduardgorbunov.github.io

VicANZIAM is excited to invite you to a one-day meeting at RMIT on Monday 29 May 2023. A focus will be a student/post-doc poster session with a $200 prize. Further details at anziam.org.au/VicANZIAM+One+…. Register and submit your abstracts at mathematics.org.au/sys/registrati… by 15 May.

@NZWolf1980 @benbrawn Maybe boycott the supermarkets that you think are wrong :p

@NZWolf1980 Help is available! fromthemixedupfiles.com/battle-care/

MoCaO special interest group of AustMS is inviting everyone interested in the mathematics of Data Science to attend an inaugural series of lectures on Data Science, scheduled at 12 noon AEST on 11-15 July 2022. To register, visit mocao.org/mocao-lectures… austms.org.au/mocao-lectures…

@matthras @sp_monte_carlo Unfortunately, this joke will be lost on collaborators not familiar with Australian chocolate biscuits ;)

@sp_monte_carlo Actually @MatthewKTam you should find someone with surname Tim to collab with and then name something the TimTam <thing> 🤣

@MelanieEmmajade @anziam2022 @ANZIAMnews And if anyone is interested in becoming the new #ANZIAM web editor, I would be very happy to answer any questions!

Hey #ANZIAM the call for nominations for 2022 have just gone out. If you haven't heard from me check your spam and if there's nothing there get in touch. @anziam2022 @ANZIAMnews

@GruffyddWare @Quasilocal And 2014!

@Quasilocal … 2 years later!

Blast from the past! Australian math student conference 2011

Workshop later in the year, run by the Society's Mathematics of Computation and Optimisation Special Interest Group, and sponsored by @ANUmedia @UNSW and @DiscoverAMSI austms.org.au/workshop-on-th…

The Age letters today (theage.com.au/national/victo…), J Tatoulis asks a great question. @VictorianCHO and I are both right. Unmitigated, this virus would spread with an R~5. But Victorians' baseline behaviour was already constraining growth (R at peak~2) and we now have R~1.

Some seriously silly questions about "why Victoria" at the presser right now. Virus transmission is a highly stochastic (i.e. random) process. This type of rapid cluster growth was inevitable. That it has occurred here in Victoria is pure chance. Contact tracing efforts amazing.

@matthras Also only half the word got translated!

TIL 'eigen' (as in eigenvalues/eigenvectors) means 'own', as in 'my own <object>' or 'one's own <object>', they were named as such by Hilbert. That sure doesn't make the disambiguation of eigenvalues/eigenvectors any easier to understand 🥴

We are hiring three postdocs at our University of Melbourne node. Although advertised full-time, part-time working hours and flexible conditions will be considered. jobs.unimelb.edu.au/caw/en/job/904…

@sj_maher I could also imagine a version of this problem where you allow hop substitutions in the recipes for a penalty (for instance).

Had a thought about using operations research for minimising the wastage from over-ordering ingredients when home brewing beer. I didn't want to write the optimisation software, so I decided to write a blog. optimisationintherealworld.co.uk/2021/05/13/ing…

From the budget papers- commonwealth funding for University places is decreasing in nominal terms (worse in real!) Just in case there was any doubt

@lyonjust Of course I do! It's been a while! I'm still neck deep in maths, although it's never been as good as first year ;)

@MatthewKTam holy cow not sure if you remember from first year uni mate? I'm neck deep in data and analytics at public health... Seems like you've really kicked on!

I also had to do one…

It's official, the new minimum distance passing rule is coming into effect on Monday 26 April. We're welcoming this rule which will help keep Victorians safe on our roads. #ametrematters #roadsafety

Congratulations @veraroshchina!

Dr Vera Roshchina @veraroshchina of @UNSW uses the properties of cones to solve complex problems related to continuous optimisation. For her excellent work in mathematics, she is a recipient of the 2021 Christopher Heyde Medal. #Honorifics21
