Babuska Prize for the best work in computational mechanics and computational mathematics submitted by students and young scientists. The Prize was established in 1994 by an outstanding Czech mathematician, Ivo Babuska (1926- -2023), who worked mostly in the United States. The Prize winner for 2025 is Dr Tereza Vankova from the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. The work honored is her PhD thesis "Thermo-elastoplastic-damage material model to simulate the behaviour of a hybrid fabric composite material with a thermoplastic matrix". The second position and a diploma of honor belong to Dr Petr David from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, who presented his PhD thesis "Topology optimization of truss structures". The third position was awarded to Dr Radim Dvorak, who was awarded a diploma of honor for his PhD thesis "Development of innovative and robust numerical methods for modelling of high-velocity impact problems" defended at the Faculty of Transportation Science of the Czech Technical University in Prague. Further diplomas of honor were delivered to MS and BS theses. The first position in this category was taken by Natasa Joskova from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The second was Radim Rondos from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Brno Technical University, and the third position belongs to Dominik I. Exner from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Dominique Chapelle dominique.chapelle@inria.fr Date: January 16, 2026 Subject: Software Release, PhysioBlocks -- Simulation of dynamical physiological systems I am very pleased to announce the initial opensource release of the PhysioBlocks Python library: https://github.com/physioblocks/physioblocks/ PhysioBlocks is designed to simulate the dynamics of physiological systems (in particular cardiovascular systems) represented by block diagrams, in order to provide built-in modularity. Accordingly, a system is represented by a network of modules (blocks) connected by nodes in which they share physical quantities (degrees of freedom) and exchange fluxes. The user can easily create a new network by combining existing blocks. At a more advanced level, new custom blocks can be defined. The library is distributed under the LGPL license, and the initial distribution focuses on providing building blocks associated with lumped-parameter (a.k.a. 0D) models of the cardiovascular system. In particular, the 0D cardiac model that has been formulated and elaborated on at Inria for over a decade is included in this distribution. There is also a companion paper available here (preprint): https://hal.science/hal-05436182 This software development was performed in the ANANKE team (Inria and École Polytechnique, within the CMAP lab, lead developer Colin Drieu), and funded by the MediTwin project coordinated by Dassault Systèmes: https://www.3ds.com/science/meditwin ------------------------------------------------------- From: Stephan Rave stephan.rave@uni-muenster.de Date: January 12, 2026 Subject: Software Release, pyMOR 2025.2 We are proud to announce the release of pyMOR 2025.2! The main new features are: - improved support for data-driven model order reduction using ML methods such as artificial neural networks or the Vectorial Kernel Orthogonal Greedy Algorithm (VKOGA) - support for saddle-point problems (Stokes equations), including supremizer enrichment and least-squares Petrov-Galerkin (LSPG) reductors - Q-DEIM algorithm for empirical interpolation - bindings for the FEniCSx PDE solver library Read the full release notes at https://docs.pymor.org/2025-2-0/release_notes/all.html ------------------------------------------------------- From: Roland Maier roland.maier@kit.edu Date: January 09, 2026 Subject: Spring School on Numerical Approximation of Waves, Karlsruhe, March 23-27, 2026 From March 23 to March 27, 2026, we will host a spring school on "Numerical Approximation of Waves - Multiple Scales and High Frequencies" at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. The school is sponsored by the CRC 1173 "Wave Phenomena". The focus of the school is the numerical approximation of complex wave propagation phenomena in heterogeneous and high-frequency contexts. Application examples range from classical scattering problems to wave propagation in metamaterials. These types of problems present significant challenges to standard discretization methods, as they often necessitate extremely fine meshes to produce meaningful approximations. The school will present strategies for reliable simulations at a feasible computational cost using problem-specific discretization techniques. Lectures will be given by - Martin Averseng (University of Angers) - Euan Spence (University of Bath) - Barbara Verfürth (University of Bonn) Registration is free, but mandatory (deadline: January 31).
