Naratip Santitissadeekorn is in Norway this week (8-10 June) for the 10th International Workshop on Ensemble Kalman Filtering, held at the Fretheim Hotel, Flåm, Sognefjord (shown in the picture on the left).  The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and its many variants have been proven effective for data assimilation in large models, including those in atmospheric, […]

The paper “Modelling changes in sleep timing and duration across the lifespan: changes in circadian rhythmicity or sleep homeostasis?” by Anne Skeldon, Gianne Derks,  and Derk-Jan Dijk (Surrey Sleep Research Centre) has been accepted for publication in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews.  Sleep patterns change across the lifespan.  For example, a delay in sleep timing […]

Ian Morris is visiting the Mathematics Department at the University of Vienna today (29 May).  He is giving a talk at 16:45 in The Budapest-Wien Dynamics Seminar on “The transfer operator for the binary Euclidean algorithm“.  A link to the abstract is here. The picture to the left is the new library building at the […]

The paper “Computing interacting multi-fronts in one-dimensional real Ginzburg Landau equations“, co-authored by Tasos Rossides, David Lloyd, and Sergey Zelik, has appeared in the June issue of the Journal of Scientific Computing.  A link to the paper is here. The paper presents a numerical scheme for computing multi-fronts that is based on a global centre-manifold […]

Cesare Tronci is visiting the Bernoulli Centre at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland next week (1-3 June) to attend a series of lectures by Hanno Gottschalk (University of Wuppertal).  The lectures are on “Optimal reliability: stochastic failure time processes and geometry optimization”.  A link to the website is here.

Alessandro Torrielli has been awarded a Nuffield Research Placement to fund the supervision of an A-level student for 5 weeks this summer.  The project is on “Massless scattering in one-dimensional quantum mechanical problems“.
