Werner Bauer attends the Firedrake/FEniCS-Hackathon at Dartington Hall in Devon

Werner Bauer attended the “Use case Hackathon“, Monday to Wednesday, 12-14 May 2025, held at Dartington Hall, in Totnes, Devon. It was organised by CCP-DCM, a “Collaborative Computational Community” centred around the FEniCS and Firedrake finite element systems. FEniCS and Firedrake are world-leading software frameworks for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). As […]


Cesare Tronci visits Strasbourg for research interaction on quantum-classical dynamics

Cesare Tronci visited Giovanni Manfredi at the Strasbourg Institute of Material Physics and Chemistry (IPCMS), which is associated with the Université de Strasbourg. Paul Bergold (former Postdoc at Surrey, now at Gdansk) joined them at IPCMS. They worked together during 26-27 May on the mixed quantum-classical dynamics of spin-orbit coupling. The visit was funded by Cesare’s […]


Estefania Loayza-Romero visits from the University of Strathclyde and gives an Interface Seminar

Estefania Loayza-Romero, a Lecturer in Mathematics at the University of Strathclyde, visited the School on Wednesday 7th May. Her research focuses on computational PDE-constrained optimisation, with particular interest in non-smooth optimisation algorithms and their applications, data assimilation, shape optimisation, and optimisation on manifolds. She gave a talk in the afternoon on “A Riemannian View on […]


Krasimira Tsaneva-Atanasova visits from the University of Exeter and gives Colloquium Talk

Krasimira Tsaneva-Atanasova, Professor of Mathematics, Vice President, and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Impact) at the University of Exeter, visited the School on Friday 9th May. Her visit was hosted by the Interface Mathematics Group. Her research addresses open questions in Health and Life Sciences by means of mathematical modelling and analysis including dynamical systems and […]


Rachel Bernasconi and Anne Skeldon attend and speak at SIAM Conference on Dynamical Systems

Rachel Bernasconi and Anne Skeldon attended the 2025 SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems, held in Denver Colorado, last week (11-15 May). Rachel gave a talk in Minisymposium CP28 (Neuroscience II) with title “The shape of sleep: How Timescale Separation Reveals Geometric Structure in a Mathematical Model of the Sleep/wake Cycle” (link to abstract […]


Stanislaw Biber hosts a minisymposium at the SIAM Dynamical Systems conference in Denver

Dr Stanisław Biber and Dr Aravind Kumar Kamaraj, research fellows in mathematics at the University of Surrey, co-organised a minisymposim at the SIAM conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems, held in Denver, Colorado. The minisymposium on “Mathematics of Brain Function and Disease” (link here) saw Stanisław chair the session and present a talk on “Mechanisms for Entrainment […]
