Anne Skeldon is in Newcastle upon Tyne this week (3-5 December) giving an invited talk in the Mathematics of Biological Rhythms Workshop being held at Northumbria University. The title of her talk is “Mathematical modelling of sleep/wake regulation: the interaction of light, sleep, circadian and social rhythms“, based on collaborative work with Derk-Jan Dijk (Surrey […]

Matt Turner is visiting the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London tomorrow (Friday 30 November) to give a talk in the Fluid Dynamics Seminar Series. The title of his talk is “Dynamic sloshing via time-dependent conformal mappings”. A link to the seminar page with an abstract can be found here.

Anne Skeldon is visiting the Mathematical Institute at Oxford University tomorrow (23 November) to give a talk in the Mathematical Biology and Ecology Seminar Series. Her talk title is”Mathematical modelling of sleep and (other) daily biological rhythms: light, clocks and social jetlag“.  The talk is based on joint work with Derk-Jan Dijk (Surrey Sleep Centre) […]

Congratulations to Euan Littlejohns for passing his PhD viva! The viva took place yesterday (20 November) and the photo left shows Euan at the post-viva celebration. The external examiner was Dr Rosemary Dyson (Birmingham) and the internal examiner was Matt Turner.  The title of Euan‘s thesis is “Continuum elasticity models for tissue growth and mechanotransduction”, […]

Paul Skerritt has been awarded a £1.5k grant by the London Mathematical Society to organise year 4 of the UK Applied Geometric Mechanics Network.  The AGM Network links Geometric Mechanics groups at City University, Imperial College, and the University of Surrey.  It is planned to organise three workshops in 2019 with location and theme   […]

The paper “Impinging Howarth stagnation-point flows” co-authored by Matt Turner and Patrick Weidman (Univ of Colorado at Boulder) has been accepted for publication in the European Journal of Mechanics B/Fluids. The paper presents new exact similarity solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations consisting of two impinging Howarth stagnation point flows. Numerical solutions are given to the […]
