The SEIO 2022 took place in Granada, Spain from the 7th to the 10th of June.
From June 7 to June 10, the SEIO 22 took place in Granada. It was the 39th Spanish Conference on Statistics and Operations Research and particularly, the first one to be held in person since the pandemic outbreak in 2020. During those days, the Spanish Mathematics Network Math-In organized sessions dedicated to dealing with applications of mathematics in industry in which the CRM participated with the aim of presenting its experience in this field.
The session began with an introduction by Lluís Alsedà, director of the CRM, in which he placed special emphasis on the importance of transferring knowledge from a research center like the CRM as well as the difficulties that must be faced today.
After that, it was the turn of Abel Valverde, member of the Industrial Mathematics group, who presented a model to describe the process of adsorbing contaminants using a packed column.

The second one was Tomás Alarcón from the Cancer Modelling Lab group explaining a methodology to study the non-linear rheology of blood in microchannels based. This is the theoretical basis of a patent of a portable device for the analysis of blood being developed by Rheo Diagnostics.

Finally, Miquel Barcelona from the Knowledge Transfer Unit, presented the project developed in collaboration with the company Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona to study the feasibility of the deployment of a Bus on-demand service in Barcelona.
The CRM values very positively its participation in this congress and wishes that the collaboration between industry and research continues to have an interest and a place in this conferences.

Almost every automaton can be reset with a short word
Guillaume Chapuy (Université Paris Cité, CNRS) and Guillem Perarnau (UPC, CRM) have shown that a random finite automaton with n states can, with high probability, be reset by a word of length of order √n log n. The result, published in ACM Transactions on Algorithms, pins the exponent at 1/2, the lower end of a decade of numerical estimates, and addresses the random version of the synchronization problem behind a conjecture Ján Černý posed in 1964 and which still remains open.

ADA: Decoding Brain Signals Misaligned in Time
The study addresses a key limitation of current brain decoding techniques: the difficulty of interpreting internal mental processes whose temporal dynamics vary from trial to trial.Decoding what is happening in a person’s mind from their brain activity is one of the...
Rare curves, many points: Christophe Ritzenthaler and Rachel Pries on their research and the work around it
Christophe Ritzenthaler (Université de Rennes) and Rachel Pries (Colorado State University) both work on curves over finite fields: he hunts curves with as many points as possible, she hunts curves that almost never occur. In conversation with the CRM during their...
