Professor Steve Schochet, from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Tel Aviv University, visited the department this week (week of 11 February) as part of the project team on the Leverhulme-funded project on Mathematical analysis of *near resonance* in the physical world of finiteness.  Bin Cheng, leader of the Leverhulme project, was host for the […]

The paper “Wetting and drying of two-layer shallow-water flow in a moving vessel via semi-Lagrangian simulation” co-authored by Matt Turner and Tom Bridges has been accepted for publication in the European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids. The paper considers a novel numerical approach to solve the shallow-water resonant rectilinear sloshing problem in a rectangular vessel. The […]

Congratulations to Josephine Solowiej-Wedderburn for passing her PhD confirmation examination today (Monday 11 February)!  The examiners were Gianne Derks and Anne Skeldon. The title of Josephine’s project is “Models for cellular force generation and the cell-substrate interface” and the project is supervised by Carina Dunlop.

Congratulations to Rebecca Atkinson for passing her PhD confirmation examination today (Wednesday 6 February)!  The examiners were Alex Hagen-Zanker  (Civil and Environmental Engineering, Surrey) and  Naratip Santitissadeekorn. The title of Rebecca’s project is “Localisation and Optimal Mitigation of Sampling Error in Ensemble Data Assimilation” and the project is supervised by Sue Hughes (Civil and Environmental […]

Carina Dunlop gave a talk today (Thursday 31 January) in the Applied Mathematics Seminar series at the University of Birmingham on “Mechanical models for cellular mechanotransduction“.  Carina talked about the ability of cells to sense and respond to the mechanical properties of their environments which is fundamental to cellular behaviour, with stiffness found to be […]

Congratulations to Marcel Dengler for passing his PhD confirmation examination today (Thursday 31 January)!  The examiners were Bin Cheng and Stephen Gourley. The title of Marcel’s project is “New regularity methods for polyconvex functionals” and the project is supervised by Jon Bevan with second supervisor James Grant.
