The second GAMM Student Chapter Science Slam took place in Hannover on 15th July
2023. The aim of the event was to promote the exchange and interconnection between
the GAMM Student Chapter groups of Bochum, Hamburg, Brunswick and Hannover and give
especially young academics an opportunity to present their research in a more casual scope.
For that purpose, a single day event was held at the Leibniz University Hannover.
After a joint lunch and the opening, the program started with a keynote talk from
industry. Benedikt Wegener and Alexey Fofonov presented their employer, the d-fine GmbH.
Following the keynote talk, ten speakers from the different Student Chapter groups
presented topics in the fields of material modeling, speed-up of simulations, applied
mathematics and biomechanics. Albeit the varying scientific background of the
audience, all speakers successfully managed to give an insight into their research. To stay
true to the idea of a Science Slam, some talks included, jokes, memes, and even a rhyme.
Following this, we had joint dinner in a local restaurant, before
the groups returned home.
We would like to thank the GAMM for the financial support of the Student Chapters, making this event possible.
