Anna Kostianko and Sergey Zelik were invited to visit China for a research tour in April.  Their principal hosts were Prof Sun Chunyou and Prof Yang Wei at Lanzhou University. They also visited Shanghai and other parts of China.  During the visit they gave a total of over ten talks at three universities on inertial […]

Philip Aston is a member of the Bond Committee formed by EPSRC to “Review Knowledge Exchange in the Mathematical Sciences” (link here).  Yesterday evening (Wednesday 26 April) there was an event at the House of Lords where Professor Philip Bond (shown left at the event) presented the outcomes of the review.  The full report can […]

Cesare Tronci was in Stobl, a small village in the lake region near Salzburg Austria, for the conference “Quantum harmonic analysis and symplectic geometry”, in honour of Maurice de Gosson, held 21-24 April.  Cesare gave a talk on “The Hamiltonian setting of Koopman-von Neumann theory and the dynamics of hybrid classical-quantum systems”.

David Lloyd and Prof Dr Reinhard Richter, of the University of Bayreuth in Germany, have been awarded a Bavarian Research Alliance grant for research cooperation between Lloyd’s team at Surrey and Richter’s group at Bayreuth.  The grant provides Euro 4.4k to fund travel between teams for their joint project on localised pattern formation in ferrofluids.

Anne Skeldon is visiting the Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, on 23-24 April for a MiR@W Day on Circadian and Sleep-Wake Cycle:  Models and Data. She is giving a talk in the opening session on “Mathematical modelling of sleep/wake regulation: the interaction of light, sleep, ciradian and social rhythms“.  The talk is based on joint […]

Anna Kostianko was on a research visit to Lanzhou University in China from 3 April to 10 April.  During her visit she gave a series of three lectures on inertial manifolds.  Details of the lectures can be found here. Her hosts for the visit were Prof Sun Chunyou and Prof Yang Wei. A link to […]
