Michael Henderson, a Principal Research Scientist at the IBM Research Center in New York (link here), is visiting the Mathematics Department this week (15-19 April), for research interaction, and to give a talk. His hosts for the visit are Tom Bridges and Imran Nasim. He is working with Imran on machine learning and scientific computing, and meeting with a range of other staff on parameterisation of multi-dimensional manifolds. His talk on Friday 19 April in the Friday Mathematics Seminar is on “Continuation for point clouds which represent smooth manifolds“. The photo below shows Imran, Michael, and Tom.
