SUMMARY:Meeting of the Minds
DESCRIPTION:Meeting of the Minds is an annual symposium at Carnegie Mellon University that gives students an opportunity to present their research and project work to a wide audience of faculty\, fellow students\, family members\, industry representatives and the larger community. Through this experience\, students learn how to bridge the gap between conducting research and presenting it to a wider audience.

SUMMARY:Qatar Mathematics Research Forum: Mathematical Horizons Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Mathematical Horizons Mini-Symposium\, organized by the Qatar Mathematics Research Forum (QMRF)\, brings together leading researchers to discuss recent advances in several areas of Mathematics. Through a series of invited talks\, the event explores exciting topics like mathematical models of sustainability\, physics-informed neural networks\, wrinkling and geometric mechanics. \nSchedule \n\n12:30–1:00 p.m.\nLunch and Informal Networking\n1:00–2:00 p.m.\nTalk 1: Henrik Shahgholian: Exploring the Sustainability Landscape: A Mathematical Perspective\n\n2:00–3:00 p.m.\nTalk 2: Rafayel Barkhudaryan: Physics-Informed Neural Networks for  Fully Nonlinear PDE’s\n3:00–3:30 p.m.\nCoffee Break\n3:30–4:30 p.m.\nTalk 3: Francesco Dal Corso: Bifurcations and wrinkling instabilities (and restabilization) in ultra-thin parallelogram-shaped hyperelastic membranes \n\nRSVP to attend \nTalk 1: Henrik Shahgholian: Exploring the Sustainability Landscape: A Mathematical Perspective\n \nAbout the speaker: Full Professor of Mathematics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden)\, widely recognized for his extensive contributions to the field of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)\, specifically focusing on free boundary problems. He has over 140 publications\, including 2 books and he frequently collaborates with other distinguished mathematicians\, such as Luis Caffarelli and Alessio Figalli\, on advanced elliptic equations and free boundary regularity. \nAbstract: In this talk\, I will share my personal journey in exploring sustainability through a mathematical lens. My goal is to show teachers and students why we must bring the conversation about our planet into our classrooms and academic meetings. We will focus on raising awareness of how even the most basic mathematical concepts can help us make sense of large-scale environmental challenges.This presentation is designed at the simplest level possible\, avoiding complex formulas to focus on core ideas. We will look at how math acts like a map\, helping us track how energy and resources move through our world. By using simple math models\, we can learn how to design systems that last and discover better ways to care for our environment.The talk provides an overview of existing discussions on sustainability rather than stating final results or proposing fixed solutions. Please do not see this as a talk to attend passively; instead\, I invite you to engage with your own suggestions\, \nTalk 2: Rafayel Barkhudaryan: Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Fully Nonlinear PDE’s \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Rafayel Barkhudaryan\, Vice-Rector for Scientific Affairs at Yerevan State University\, is an expert in numerical analysis\, scientific computing\, and PDE methods. With leadership roles at major mathematical institutions and international research experience\, his work combines theoretical rigor and computational insight.   \nAbstract: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) provide a mesh-free framework for solving partial differential equations by embedding the equations into the training process. This talk focuses on fully nonlinear PDEs\, with particular emphasis on convergence. We discuss theoretical and numerical aspects of convergence\, key challenges arising from nonlinearity\, and illustrate results on representative examples.” \n\nTalk 3: Francesco Dal Corso: Bifurcations and wrinkling instabilities (and restabilization) in ultra-thin parallelogram-shaped hyperelastic membranes  \nAbout the speaker: Dr. Francesco Dal Corso at the University of Trento conducts research on the mechanics of solids and structural instability\, including elastic localization\, strain gradient effects\, and geometric mechanics. His contributions connect mathematical modeling with experimental and theoretical insights into wrinkling and structural phenomena.   \nAbstract: Wrinkling is a commonly observed out-of-plane instability in membrane structures due to their extremely low bending-to-stretching stiffness ratio. It has been extensively investigated for symmetric membrane geometries and boundary conditions that induce planar non-uniform stress states by preventing the lateral contraction at the edges\, and is also known to potentially display self-restabilization. This presentation outlines a recent investigation into an initially flat\, parallelogram-shaped hyperelastic membrane\, focusing on the influence of the inclination angle defining  the membrane shape as a deviation from the rectangular geometry. It is shown that wrinkling can occur either centrally or at the two opposite obtuse-angled corners—even for small inclination angles—during stretching with unconstrained lateral contraction\, a condition under which the flat configuration for the rectangular counterpart remains always stable. \nThree distinct evolutions of the wrinkling pattern are numerically identified\, all ultimately leading to corner localized wrinkles. This final state may arise (i) directly\, without a prior bifurcation\, or after the appearance of central wrinkling that either (ii) restabilizes or (iii) separates and migrates toward the corners. A closed-form expression for the critical wrinkling condition is derived by combining a perturbation approach with an energy based method in the framework of linear elasticity. This provides an accurate estimate of the onset and pattern of central wrinkling. The present findings reveal new pathways in wrinkling pattern evolution and introduce a novel approach to unconventional boundary value problems\, with potential applications ranging from lightweight structural systems to flexible electronics \n

SUMMARY:CMU-Q at Web Summit Qatar
DESCRIPTION:From Campus to Company: Two University Spinouts\, Two Founder Paths \nWhat changes when the founder is a student\, versus a professor? In this university-led session\, Dr. Maher Hakim hosts two startups born at the same institution – Carnegie Mellon University Qatar – to compare their paths from idea and/or technology to market. \nThe panel will explore speed\, credibility\, access to labs and talent\, fundraising readiness\, and how universities can better support both types of founders – without slowing them down. \nExpect practical lessons on teams\, IP\, mentors\, and the first “real” customers—told from two different founder journeys. \nFor more information\, visit Web Summit Qatar 2026 \n  \nMaher Hakim\nDistinguished Career Professor \nDr. Hakim is a sought-out expert and educator in technology innovation and entrepreneurship\, entrepreneurship financing and venture capital.

SUMMARY:University Lecture: Is a Science of Humans Even Possible?
DESCRIPTION:Richard Scheines will be speaking at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar as part of the inaugural Richard Scheines Distinguished Lecture in the Humanities and Social Sciences.  \nRichard Scheines is the Bess Family Dean of the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University.  \nAbout the lecture:\nIn this talk\, Dean Scheines contrasts the well-established science of inanimate objects with the challenges of developing a scientific understanding of humans\, who have intentions\, possible free will\, and unpredictability. Dean Scheines discusses whether the assumptions underlying physical science apply to humans and whether the humanities may be better suited to understanding human nature. \n  Please register to attend.
