The University of Surrey graduation ceremony for PhD in Mathematics was held today (Friday 12 April) in the Guildford Cathedral.  PhD degrees were conferred on the following (in the order shown in the photo left): Andy Oxley, Chrissy Gavin, Matt Bailey, and Andrea Fontanella.

The paper “Geometry of nonadiabatic quantum hydrodynamics“, co-authored by Michael Foskett, Cesare Tronci, and Darryl Holm (Imperial College), has been accepted for publication in the journal Acta Applicandae Mathematicae (ACAP).  A link to the final form version on the arXiv is here.

Ian Roulstone is at the Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge this week (8-11 April) participating in the 145th Mathematical European Study Group with Industry (ESGI).  The industrial problem that Ian is engaging with is sponsored by Aviva and its aim is to “Improve weather models for the insurance industry“. The broad aim for […]

Cesare Tronci visited the Simons Foundation last week (w/c 25 March) to attend an invitation only meeting on “Simons Collaboration on hidden symmetries and fusion energy annual meeting“. The primary purpose of this Simons Collaboration was to create and exploit an effective mathematical and computational framework for the design of stellarators with hidden symmetries.  At […]

Alessandro Torrielli is visiting the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Uppsala in Sweden this week and giving a talk today (Wednesday 3rd April) in the Theoretical Physics Seminar series.  The title of his talk is  “Massless scattering in lower-dimensional AdS/CFT“.  While there he will have research interaction with Antonio Pittelli, a […]
