The accurate and efficient numerical modelling of waves interacting with complex scattering geometries is crucial for a wide range of engineering and science applications, including electromagnetic/photonic/acoustic/elastodynamic imaging and device/material design. The multiple scattering regime — i.e. wave scattering scenarios in which there are multiple interactions — includes strong scattering by multiple obstacles, periodic structures, media with variable refractive index, waveguides, random media, and non-convex obstacles. This brings special computational challenges since perturbative and one-way approximations do not apply, and ray methods usually suffer from exponential proliferation. Conventional PDE solvers are also inadequate, particularly at high frequencies, and/or when the propagation domain is highly heterogeneous (containing many scatterers, a highly variable refractive index or geometric singularities). This is a highly active numerical research field with rapid and exciting recent developments, in topics including:
- novel discretization techniques based on numerical homogenisation, integral equation methods, finite element methods (including Trefftz methods), and semi-analytic and generalised eigenfunction methods;
- acceleration techniques including preconditioning, matrix compression (including H-matrices and the fast multipole method), domain decomposition and fast direct solvers;
- robust and efficient software implementations.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on computational methods for multiple scattering and to explore possible connections and common challenges between the different communities involved.

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
