From the familiar sight of the red Sint Jans church tower looming over the city, to the iconic Sint Servaas bridge over the river Maas, to… mathematics research. Math/Maastricht joins these different worlds. The project explores a simple question: which location in the city reminds UM’s math-minded researchers of their work? The answers are diverse and often inspiring. The labyrinth in the … Fort Saint Pieter, the tower mill near Gronsveld... But why? Math/Maastricht followed twelve researchers to their chosen locations and documented their answers. The resulting stories and photographs show off both the city and the diverse range of mathematics-based research at Maastricht University. The exhibition at Minderbroedersberg showcases a number of highlights of the project, which was photographed by Joey Roberts. The exhibition also features unique behind-the-scenes material not to be … patterns, order and symmetry, which can be repeated in shape and colour.

… years to get to where we are today. But just how complicated can these familial relations get? Well: complicated enough for the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) to award a KLEIN-1 grant to Dr. Steven Kelk. He will explore the mathematics behind shrinking these sometimes impossibly huge evolutionary trees. Faculty of Science and Engineering Department of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering Trees of life – for instance showing how animals evolved from a common ancestor – are … recent years we’ve begun to realize that there isn’t really one tree of life. Depending on where you look, and the methods you use to build the tree, you get different outcomes”, Dr. Steven Kelk says. Computer says no Make no mistake: Dr. Kelk is a mathematician rather than a biologist. Where does his fascination for evolutionary trees come from? “To understand what’s happening with two different trees, you first want to try and put a number on their dissimilarity. While there are multiple ways to … this distance, some of the more interesting distances are really challenging to compute. I’m particularly interested in cases where you currently can’t calculate the distance, because the trees are simply too big for the algorithm to handle.” The mathematical answer to this problem lies in something called kernelization . In this case, it’s about reducing the size of the evolutionary trees without losing information. You can then use the compacted trees, which pose a much smaller challenge to …

… of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering, moved to Maastricht, a city completely unknown to her. Her choice turned out to be a double-edged sword. She found the lack of skate culture depressing, but enjoyed her studies, especially the focus on the mathematics behind data. “I still benefit almost every day from what I learned there.” Hans van Vinkeveen Faculty of Science and Engineering When she chose Data Science and Knowledge Engineering (DKE), Dávila had never heard of Maastricht. She found the programme on the Maastricht University website. “It appealed to me because the emphasis wasn’t just on computer programming. I wanted to know more about the mathematics behind data. Everything is data these days, and I love maths. The programme was right up my alley.” It was a bonus that the Netherlands has a ‘cool’ reputation among skaters worldwide. “I live for skating and surfing.” She has nothing but …

Op de Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo timmert de universiteit hard aan de weg. Op de begane grond en eerste verdieping van de Villa Flora zitten de studenten die hoofdzakelijk met voeding en gezondheid bezig zijn. De komende jaren krijgt ook het universitair onderwijs en onderzoek rond het thema toekomstige landbouw vorm. In de loop van volgend jaar verrijst een eigen kantoor, laboratorium en plantenkas. Maastricht University is daarbij de samenwerking aangegaan met BASF Vegetable Seeds. Dat maakt meteen duidelijk waar het zwaartepunt in … samen met het bedrijfsleven aan de landbouw van de toekomst.

The internet hasn’t developed in the way he intended it. Data science progresses at a dizzying pace – are the people in the driver’s seat aware of their responsibility? We asked … Intelligence and Frank Thuijsman, Professor Strategic Optimization and Data Science. He has invented the internet. But rather than resting on his laurels and living out his days googling his own name, Tim Berners-Lee is currently working on a web decentralisation project called Solid: Social Linked Data. Users could store their own data in pods (personal online data stores) and compartmentalise it. That would mean keeping apps and data separate, thus giving individuals true ownership of … (1958) is Professor of Strategic Optimization and Data Science and a member of the DKE management team. He is the initiator of KE@Work, which allows DKE bachelor students to help local companies on a project basis for two years. He holds a PhD in Mathematical Game Theory from Maastricht University.

… een voor haar volslagen onbekende Nederlandse stad. Het werd een kennismaking met twee kanten. De afwezigheid van een skatecultuur maakte haar regelmatig depressief. Van de andere kant genoot zij van haar studie, waarin veel aandacht was voor de mathematica achter data. "Van de meeste studieonderdelen profiteer ik nog bijna elke dag." Hans van Vinkeveen Faculty of Science and Engineering Maastricht? Marta Dávila Mateu had nog nooit van deze stad gehoord toen zij voor de studie Data Science and Knowledge Engineering (DKE) koos. Ze had de studie aan Maastricht University online gevonden. "Het programma sprak mij aan, omdat de nadruk niet simpelweg op computerprogrammeren lag. Ik wilde meer weten over de mathematica achter data. Alles is data tegenwoordig en ik houd van mathematica. Het programma sloot aan bij mijn interesse." Een buitenkans was dat Nederland wereldwijd bij skaters een 'coole' reputatie heeft. "Skaten en surfen doet mij leven." Over de studie en met name de (meeste) docenten niets dan lof. Dávila …
