[00935] Applied mathematics in industry: Success stories of collaboration between academia and industry in Mexico

  • Session Time & Room :
    • 00935 (1/2) : 3C (Aug.23, 13:20-15:00) @D515
    • 00935 (2/2) : 3D (Aug.23, 15:30-17:10) @D515
  • Type : Proposal of Industrial Minisymposium
  • Abstract : The applied collaboration between educational institutions in mathematics and industry is complicated not only from a scientific and technological point of view but also due to intellectual property legislation, organization, response time, and confidentiality. This mini-symposium will present successful real cases of applying mathematics directly to technological development in Mexico and some ideas for achieving greater collaboration.

      • [01598] Public Transportation in Mexico
        • Format : Online Talk on Zoom
        • Author(s) :
          • Yasmin Rios Solis (Tecnológico de Monterrey)
        • Abstract : Mexican public transportation planning and operation need different mathematical models than the ones used in developed countries. Indeed, planning stages like timetables and frequency setting should be revisited weekly or even daily. I will present two case studies of companies in Mexico and the main points that differentiate the classical models in the scientific literature from the needed ones. In particular, we will talk about the timetabling problem together with the vehicle scheduling problem to minimize the number of unfulfilled trips. I will present the models, the real case, and computational experimentation.
      • [01632] Successful cases of mathematical applications for business
        • Format : Talk at Waseda University
        • Author(s) :
          • Ivete Sanchez-Bravo (Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas)
        • Abstract : Science and technology are two key elements for the development of all countries. The industrial sector seeks to apply frontier knowledge to generate value in its processes and products, so it needs a translation to apply it, in addition to having personnel trained in these topics. This talk will present the results and successful partnerships between some Mexican and multinational companies, as well as some initiatives such as workshops for companies to encourage teamwork, organized by CIMAT with other institutions specifically in areas of Applied Mathematics, such as AI, Optimization, and Data Science.
      • [01653] Statistical Methods for Natural Disaster Risk Assessment
        • Format : Online Talk on Zoom
        • Author(s) :
          • Ramses H Mena (UNAM)
        • Abstract : The study and risk assessment of natural disasters are of crucial interest for every country. The ability to foresee potencial losses are of paramount importance for emergency policies, prevention, reconstruction and risk transfer mechanisms. Using a case study with the Mexican Natural Disasters Fund (FONDEN), we will discuss the importance of statistical and probabilistic methodologies created to aid the insurance against natural disasters.
      • [01743] Collaboration between SMM and mathematical professionals in the mexican industry
        • Format : Talk at Waseda University
        • Author(s) :
          • Giovana Ortigoza Alvarez (Seguros Monterrey New York Life)
        • Abstract : The collaboration between mathematics graduates in Mexico and the Mexican Mathematical Society (SMM) has been of vital importance and a topic of interest in recent years. Since 2016, through special sessions in the national congress that the (SMM) organizes each year, talks, panel discussion and workshops focused on the empowerment of mathematicians and the collaborations that can be developed in the private industry in Mexico are presented. In this talk we will talk about this project.

      • [01745] P&L Attribution and Risk Management
        • Format : Talk at Waseda University
        • Author(s) :
          • Joyce Vega (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México)
        • Abstract : In this session I will talk about the concept of profit and loss attribution in risk management as a predictive and explanatory model of financial market movements in investment portfolios through Taylor expansion, and associated concepts of risk factors as components of a price function of a financial instrument. Finally, I will also present an applied example of this model.
      • [01753] Building an university-based knowledge transfer network for the financial sector: The case of Fin-ML
        • Format : Online Talk on Zoom
        • Author(s) :
          • Manuel Morales (Université de Montréal)
        • Abstract : In 2017, the Fin-ML Network was created within the Université de Montréal with the goal of training the next generation of applied mathematicians and statisticians working at the intersection of data-science, machine learning, quantitative finance and business intelligence. In the past five years, it has become a knowledge transfer center fostering collaboration between industry and academia around data-centric value creation for businesses in the financial sector. This collaboration is now international as we have started partnering with the innovation ecosystem in two Mexican states. This talk will narrate this success story while showcasing some of the applied projects our researchers have been working on.
