To encourage cross pollination of ideas between researchers from different disciplines, IceLab hosts interdisciplinary research lunches with the vision of allowing ideas to meet and mate. During the Lunch Pitch Season, the creative lunches take place at KBC, every other week.
Where: KBC Glasburen
Pitch 1: Eric Capo, Assistant Professor, Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences
Water deoxygenation changing microbial services in past, present and future coastal systems
Interested in: finding collaborators with expertise in climate modelling that could help develop the last step of this project - using ancient environmental DNA data to project the future impact of water deoxygenation on global biogeochemical processes.
Pitch 2: Kevin Kamm, Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics
Deep Learning for High-Dimensional Joint Optimal Stopping and Stochastic Control Problems with Applications in Finance
Interested in: Collaborators with expertise in aquatic, forest or agricultural ecology, to develop realistic models to determine optimal feeding/fertilizing and pest reduction strategies
