Josephine Solowiej-Wedderburn is giving a talk tomorrow (Thursday 20 August) at the virtual annual conference of the Society for Mathematical Biology. Her talk title is “Sensing some resistance: A mathematical model for the contractile mechanosensory mechanism within cells“. A link to the abstract and other information about the conference is here. Josephine’s PhD project is […]

The paper “Leapfrogging criteria for a line vortex pair external to a circular cylinder” authored by Matt Turner has been accepted for publication in Physics of Fluids. The paper identifies a criteria, a function of cylinder radius and the ratio of vortex strengths, which signifies the boundary between leapfrogging and non-leapfrogging motions as the vortices […]

The paper “Regularized Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics“, co-authored by Jonathan I Rawlinson (Bristol/Leeds) and Cesare Tronci, has been accepted for publication in Physical Review A. The paper presents a new closure of the nuclear Born-Oppenheimer equation, thereby leading to a molecular dynamics scheme capturing geometric phase effects. Full abstract can be found on the PRA page […]

Congratulations to Tom O’Neill for passing his PhD viva on Monday 3rd August! Tom’s thesis is entitled “A rigorous analysis, via the Monge-Ampère equation, of the existence of classical solutions to the semigeostrophic equations with explicit Rossby number scaling“. The External Examiner was Professor Mikhail Feldman (University of Wisconsin) and the Internal was Ian Roulstone. […]
