David Lloyd seminar at Imperial College London

David Lloyd is visiting Imperial College London today (Thursday 6th February) to give a talk in the DynamIC Seminar.  The title of his talk is “Nucleation of localised Ferrosolitons and Ferro-patterns”. Experiments involving a plate of magnetic fluid in the presence of a magnetic field have shown that it is possible for stable localised spots on […]


Carina Dunlop seminar at University of Birmingham

Carina Dunlop visited the University of Birmingham on Monday 2nd February to give a talk in the Applied Mathematics Seminar.  The title of the talk was Cells, cell sheets and insect embryos: modelling the role of mechanics in tissue development. It is becoming increasingly clear that mechanical interactions play a crucial role in controlling cellular […]


Matt Turner seminar at Durham University

Matt Turner visited the University of Durham on Friday 31 January to give a talk in the Numerical Analysis Seminar.  The title of the talk was “Fluid sloshing and dynamic coupling”. A moving vessel carrying a fluid can give rise to a wide range of complex and beautiful fluid motions. On the other hand, the […]


Alessandro Torrielli seminar at Durham University

Alessandro Torrielli visited the University of Durham on Friday 31 January to give a talk in the Maths HEP Lunchtime Seminar Series.  The title was “Yangians and strings in AdS_3“. In the talk he reviewed recent progress in understanding the scattering theory for strings propagating on AdS_3 backgrounds. The role of Yangians was discussed, and […]
