Rachel Bernasconi wins the University of Surrey’s Three-Minute Thesis competition

The University of Surrey’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a premier competition challenging doctoral students to condense their complex research into an engaging, non-specialist 3-minute presentation using only one static slide. The competition is open to all Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) across all faculties who have passed their confirmation milestone. This year’s winner was Rachel Bernasconi, […]


International Conference on Symplectic Geometry and Astrodynamics held at Surrey

The workshop “Geometry Space Surrey” was held 8-10 June hosted by the Surrey Space Centre (SSC) and co-organised with Maths@Surrey. The Principal Organiser was Arthur Limoge, a symplectic geometer currently a Postdoc in the SSC. The workshop focused on applications of symplectic geometry to astrodynamics. Indeed, symplectic geometry – a branch of pure mathematics aimed […]


Camilla Nobili was a plenary speaker at RBC2026 on Rayleigh-Benard turbulence in Lyon

In the beginning of June (1-5 June), Camilla Nobili was in Lyon, France, for RBC2026: 10th International Conference on Rayleigh-Benard Turbulence (conference website here), at which she was a plenary speaker. RBC is a major series of conferences, held every 2-3 years, and attracting 100-200 participants. The title of her talk was “Heat Transport Scaling […]


Paper of Ian Roulstone on geometry of the velocity gradient tensor published in QJRMS

The paper “New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor” co-authored by Ian Roulstone, Sid Clough (Met Office, retired), and Andy White (Met Office, retired), has been published in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society. It is published open access (link here). In the paper, novel aspects of […]


Paper of Matt Turner and Dave Lloyd on dynamics of patterns to appear in SIADS

The paper “Dynamic interactions and equilibrium configurations of pulses in the two-dimensional complex quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation” co-authored by Matt Turner and David Lloyd has been accepted for publication in the SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems. This paper presents a novel numerical approach which allows for the accurate numerical calculation of  multi-pulse interaction in the […]
