In the spring semester Jock McOrist has been on research visits to Sydney and Madrid.  Earlier in the spring, he visited Professor Geordie Williamson FRS at the University of Sydney for 6 weeks working on a mathematical physics and geometry project.  Professor Williamson is the Royal Society’s youngest living fellow; he has also been awarded […]

The paper “Geometry of massless scattering in integrable superstrings” co-authored by Andrea Fontanella (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, formerly PhD student at Surrey) and Alessandro Torrielli, has been accepted for publication in the Journal of High Energy Physics.   The paper considers the action of the q-deformed Poincaré superalgebra on the massless non-relativistic R-matrix in ordinary (undeformed) […]

Congratulations to Ahuod Alsheri for passing her PhD viva! The viva took place today (Thursday 13 June). The external examiner was Prof Anotida Madzvamuse (University of Sussex) and the internal examiner was Jon Bevan.  The title of her thesis is “Mathematical modelling of diseases carried by non-flying insects”. Her project has been supervised by Stephen […]

Anna Kostianko and Sergey Zelik are visiting Khazar University in Baku, Azerbaijan, this week (10-14 June) for at conference on “Operators, Functions, and Systems of Mathematical Physics“.  Both Anna and Sergey will be giving invited presentations.  Full details, including talk titles and programme, can be found at the conference website here.

The paper “Existence of global weak solutions to a hybrid Vlasov‐MHD model for magnetized plasmas” co-authored by Bin Cheng, Endre Suli (Oxford), and Cesare Tronci and published in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society (link here), has been identified as one of the journal’s most downloaded papers. Amongst articles published between January 2017 and […]

Tom Bridges visited the Department of Mathematics at Loughborough University this week (4-5 June) for research interaction and to give a talk in the Applied Mathematics Seminar.  The title of the talk was “Whitham modulation theory on Lie groups“.  A link to the department and seminar page is here.
