The paper “Integrable open spin-chains in AdS 3/CFT 2 correspondence“, co-authored by Andrea Prinsloo, Vidas Regelskis and Alessandro Torrielli, has been accepted for publication in Physical Review D.  The arXiv version can be found here.

Congratulations to Fabrizio Nieri, who passed his PhD viva on Tuesday 29 September with a confident defence.  The title of his thesis is “Integrable structures in supersymmetric gauge theories” and the work was supervised by Sara Pasquetti and Martin Wolf.  The external examiner was Amir-Kian Kashani-Poor (Paris) and the internal examiner was James Grant.

Gianne Derks and Emma Hawkins attended a Quantitative Systems Pharmacology meeting last week (14-17 Sept). The meeting took place at the AstraZenica conference centre in Macclesfield. The meeting provided an introduction to QSP and was a forum for researchers in academia and industry to come together to discuss development in this emerging field of science […]

Bin Cheng and Matt Turner are attending the workshop on “Environmental Modelling in Industry” jointly organised by the Turing Gateway and the Maths Forsees Network, and held at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge.  The workshop is addressing the role of mathematics in a range of environmental challenges suggested by the UK Met Office, the […]

Alessandro Torrielli has been invited to give one of three plenary lectures at a conference on “Selected Topics in Theoretical High Energy Physics” held at the Free University of Tbilisi in Georgia during 21-27 September 2015. Alessandro will be speaking on “Lower dimensional AdS/CFT correspondences and their integrability“.  The website for the conference is here.

Congratulations to James Wright who passed his PhD viva today. The title of his thesis is “On the stability and basins of attraction of forced nonlinear oscillators” and the work was supervised by Michele Bartuccelli and Jonathan Deane. The external examiner was Steven Bishop (UCL) and the internal examiner was Anne Skeldon.
