CAIMS/CMS Industrial Event
Organizers: Michael Lamoureux (PIMS Industrial Coordinator), Ray Spiteri (CAIMS President)
Monday, June 27, 2016, CAB 269, 235
Schedule:
Jupyter Workshop 11:20am – 12:35pm, CAB 269

Pizza served: 12:30pm

Panel discussion 12:35pm – 2:00pm, CAB 235

Part one: Jupyter and the PIMS Hub.
The Jupyter Notebook is an open web application for quickly creating mathematical documents with TeX, live computer code, data analysis, and visualization. We will demonstrate Jupyter in use for both teaching and research in the mathematics sciences, with examples of numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data cleaning, and much more. The PIMS Hub provides free access to Jupyter resources for professionals across its network.

Part two: Panel Discussion on Jobs in Industry
Industry is looking for highly skilled employees and research expertise, but there is often a mismatch between academic descriptions of our expertise and the skill sets being advertised in industrial job searches and proposals for collaborations. This panel discussion brings together industry researchers and hiring managers to present ideas on making the connection between the academic and industrial worlds, particularly when it comes to job seeking, hiring, and building collaborations.
