Scientists from leading universities and institutes in the Americas, Asia, and Europe participated in the fifth international conference “Numerical Methods for Scientific Computations and Advanced Applications” – NMSCAA’26.  The forum took place from June 15 to 18 in Sozopol and was organized by the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies of BAS. The conference was opened by Corresponding Member Svetozar Margenov. Traditionally, the topics covered included: modeling, simulation and optimization; multiscale and multiphysics problems; robust iterative methods and sparse matrix computation; fractional differential equations and non-local problems; parallel numerical methods and scalable algorithms; advanced applications in science and engineering. The scientific program also included presentations on new areas of research, such as synergies between parallel numerical methods and algorithms and artificial intelligence methods, new approaches [...]

Awards for outstanding research and publication achievements have been presented to doctoral students at the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies of BAS (IICT) during a ceremony held today. This is the first time such an award has been established with the aim of encouraging and recognizing young researchers at the institute. The chair of the awards committee, Prof. Stanislav Harizanov, expressed his gratitude to the doctoral students who participated in the competition and their academic advisors. With best wishes for continued success in science, the awards were presented by Corresponding Member Margenov to: Miryana Raykovska, supervised by Prof. Ivan Georgiev, for her work on the creation of digital twins using high-resolution microstructural models obtained through industrial computed tomography. The applications of the results obtained [...]

A bust-monument to Academician Blagovest Sendov was officially unveiled at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of BAS.  To honor the memory of this exceptional scientist, public figure, and visionary, the official ceremony was attended by Minister of Education and Science Krasimir Valchev, BAS President Corr. Memb. Evelina Slavcheva, BAS President Prof. Julian Revalski, Member of the Academy (2016-2024 term of office), relatives, friends, and representatives of the academic community. Academician Sendov was the first director of the International Center for Mathematical Sciences at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of BAS, said Director Corr. Memb. Peter Boyvalenkov, adding that it was no coincidence that the monument was placed in front of his office. I believe that the work of Acad. Sendov will be continued [...]
