This week (23-38 May) is the 2021 SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems, DS21, formally know as “Snowbird” (link here). It is virtual, but capturing the planned location of Portland, Oregon (including a virtual beach). The conference has over 1250 registered participants, 219 minisymposia, 28 contributed presentation sessions and 9 plenary invited presentations. The team from Surrey includes Philip Aston, Nicola Baresi, Gianne Derks, Dan Hill, Ying Huang, Stefan Klus, David Lloyd, Jane Lyle, and Callum Pettit. Details of their contributions are given below.
Stefan Klus has organised a two part minisymposium on “Data-Driven Methods for Stochastic Systems” on Sunday/Monday and is presenting the talk “Koopman Analysis of Quantum Systems using Hidden Variables” in another minisymposium on Wednesday. Philip Aston has organised a minisymposium “Symmetric Projection Attractor Reconstruction: Dynamical Concepts Applied to Timeseries Data” on Monday which includes talks of three Surrey speakers: Jane Lyle on “Symmetric Projection Attractor Reconstruction: Embedding of Physiological Time Series in Higher Dimensions“, Ying Huang on “Detecting Atrial Fibrillation from Normal Sinus Rhythm ECGs Using Symmetric Projection Attractor Reconstruction and Machine Learning“, and Callum Pettit on “Determining Individual Cycle Lengths from PPG Data using Symmetric Projection Attractor Reconstruction“. Philip is also presenting his work on “The Fascinating Dynamics of the Humble Superball” in another minisymposium on Thursday. Dan Hill is giving a presention on “The Existence of Localised Radial Patterns on the Surface of a Ferrofluid” on Monday and David Lloyd is presenting his work on “Computing the Wavenumber Selection Inside and Outside of the Homoclinic Snaking Region” on Thursday. From the Surrey Space Centre, Nicola Baresi is presenting “Quasi-Periodic Orbits for the Exploration of Small Irregular Moons” on Tuesday. Gianne Derks, is a member of the DS21 Organizing Committee. Dan Hill’s talk can be found here, and the image below shows the first slide of Jane‘s talk.
