Assistant Professor Ana Dyreson (MAE) is attending the 54th IEEE Photovoltaics Specialists Conference (PVSC) this week in New Orleans, Louisiana. PVSC 54 brings together experts from across the solar energy field to share advances in photovoltaic research, technology, systems, policy, markets, and societal impacts.

Dyreson is serving as co-chair for Area 8: Module and System Reliability. Also participating in the conference and presenting their research are Ph.D. student Shelbie Wickett (mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics) and Ayush Chutani '26 (Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics). 

Waste Advantage mentioned Michigan Tech in a story about two national awards recognizing Michigan’s scrap tire recycling program. The National Asphalt Pavement Association honored a rubberized asphalt project developed through a collaboration between MTU, EGLE, the Washtenaw County Road Commission and industry partners.

NPR and 165 national outlets mentioned Michigan Tech in a story about U.S. Forest Service research facilities being evaluated for closure. The article noted that the Forest Service leases facilities in Houghton and L'Anse from MTU.

A Workshop on Applied and Numerical Mathematics

Tuesday, June 9, 8 a.m.–4 p.m. | U. J. Noblet Forestry Building, G002

This workshop will bring together leading international experts from across the field of numerical analysis, with a central focus on high-order methods for solving partial differential equations. It is structured with a strong educational emphasis, particularly aimed at graduate students and early-career researchers across STEM disciplines. The mornings will be devoted to lectures on modern high-accuracy numerical techniques, while the afternoons will feature research talks covering a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, recent advances in the discretization of differential and integral operators, as well as methods based on rational functions, radial basis functions (RBFs), and finite difference approaches. It is a free workshop intended for graduate students, postdoctoral students, researchers, and faculty of all STEM fields. Please spread the word and register to help us plan for refreshments. Parking has been reserved in Lot 26, just up the hill from the Noblet building. Follow the signs along 7th Ave to the designated parking area. This workshop is funded by generous gifts from Igor Kliakhandler, the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Michigan Technological…
