It is the tenth Firedrake user and developer workshop. Werner attended and gave a talk in Session 12 on “Fully implicit timestepping methods for the rotating shallow water […]

On Thursday 2nd October, there was a one-day “Workshop on Mathematics and Chemistry“, held in the School of Mathematics and Physics, organised by Cesare Tronci. Funding has been provided by a grant from the Leverhulme Trust. The aim was to bring together different expertise in physics, applied mathematics, and computational/theoretical chemistry in an attempt to […]

The paper “Boundary Bethe ansatz in massive AdS3“, co-authored by Daniele Bielli (Chulalongkorn University, Thailand), Vasileios Moustakis, and Alessandro Torrielli, has been accepted for publication in the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP). Daniele is a former PhD student at Surrey, and Vasileios is a current PhD student at Surrey. In this paper they perform […]

The paper “Mathematical Analysis of Light-sensitivity Related Challenges in Assessment of the Intrinsic Period of the Human Circadian Pacemaker“, co-authored by Imran Usmani, Derk-Jan Dijk (Surrey Sleep Research Centre), and Anne Skeldon, has been published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms (open access link at the journal). This paper is based on Imran’s PhD thesis […]

Congratulations to Elliott Farrall for passing his PhD viva! The viva took place on Monday 22 September. The title of Elliott’s thesis is “Conditions for the Non-Negativity of Excess Functionals in Constrained Variational Problems“. The external examiner was Prof Martin Kružík (Czech Academy of Sciences), and the internal examiner was James Grant. Elliott’s primary supervisor was Jon Bevan and second supervisor […]

Anne Skeldon was in Lübeck Germany at the end of August (24-28 August) for the 2025 Congress of the European Biological Rhythms Society (link here). She gave a talk in a special session on “Post-translational regulations in clock and sleep” which was jointly organised by the Japanese Society of Chronobiology (JSC) and EBRS as part […]
