The paper “Time-dependent conformal mapping of doubly-connected regions” co-authored by Matt Turner and Tom Bridges, has been accepted for publication in the Springer journal Advances in Computational Mathematics. The paper studies the evolution of the conformal modulus, an invariant associated with conformal mapping of doubly-connected regions, and develops a generalization of the Hilbert transform, named […]

Congratulations to Euan Littlejohns who passed his PhD Confirmation Examination today (Friday 18 December). The title of his report is “Mathematically modelling biological growth“.  His supervisors are Carina Dunlop and Anne Skeldon, and the examiners were Gianne Derks and Matt Turner.
