Polina Vytnova was in China for three weeks this autumn (29 August to 20 September) travelling across China to attend conferences and engage in research interaction. At Lanzhou she attended the summer school organised by Sergey Zelik (link here). She then travelled to Shanghai for Dynamics Days 2024 (link here). She then hopped on a […]

Martin Wolf is visiting the Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (MTP) Group at the University of Hertfordshire on Wednesday (25 September) to give a talk in the MTP Seminar series. His talk is on “Homotopy Algebra Perspective on Quantum Field Theory“. In it he will review recent progress on understanding perturbative quantum field theory within the […]

Matt Turner has been appointed to a 3-year term of office, 2024-2027, as Associate Editor of the Journal of Engineering Mathematics. JEM is a Springer journal which focuses on mathematical studies of Engineering problems. The screenshot below is from the journal website (link here).

The new Centre for Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems, which links Maths@Surrey with Maths@ZNU had its official unveiling last week (14 September) at ZNU in Jinhua China. The CIDDS (link here) is an international centre linking Zhejiang Normal University, China with the University of Surrey, UK. The Centre is led by Professor Sergey Zelik, and its […]

The paper “The Effect of Asymmetry on the Absolute Instability of Confined Jets and Wakes” authored by Ryan Poole and Matt Turner has been accepted for publication in Fluid Dynamics Research. This paper examines the absolute and convective stability properties for jet/wake flows which are confined asymmetrically between compliant walls. The flows are analysed using […]

Rachel Bernasconi and Esha Joshi are at the Francis Crick Institute in London this week (9-10 September) to attend the “London Mathematical Biology Conference” (website here). Rachel gave a talk this morning (Tuesday 10 September) on “The Shape of Sleep: How timescale separation reveals geometric structure in a mathematical model of the sleep/wake cycle” (based […]
