International Workshop on Moment Methods in Kinetic Theory IV

Apr 11, 2023, 8:55 AM → Apr 14, 2023, 2:00 PM Europe/Berlin

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

Martin Frank (Department of Mathematics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), Manuel Torrilhon (Mathematics Department, RWTH Aachen University)

The International Workshop on Moment Methods in Kinetic Theory IV  will be held at Karlsruhe, Germany from April 11 until April 14, 2023. It aims to bring together world-leading researchers in the development, application, and solution of moment closure approximations and other methods arising from kinetic theories.
