  Philip Aston, in collaboration with Dr. Lisiane B. Meira (Biochemistry and Physiology, Surrey) and Dr Ruan Elliott (Nutrition and Metabolism, Surrey), is organising a conference on “Mathematical Modelling of the DNA Damage Response”.  It will be held at the Surrey Institute for Advanced Studies on the 26th and 27th of June 2013.  Further information […]

Professor Pierre-Gilles Lemarié-Rieusset visited the department on Friday 26 April for research interaction and to give a Colloquium talk.  He is from the Universite d’Evry Val d’Essonne, in Evry, south of Paris.  His Colloquium talk was on “A comparitive study of the Navier-Stokes equations and the Keller-Segel system“. Professor Lemarie-Rieusset’s web page can be found […]

The paper by David Fisher, Robert Gray and Peter Hydon, entitled “Automorphisms of real Lie algebras of dimension five or less” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Physics A.  The main result of the paper is a formulation and proof of a Lie algebra version of the Krull-Schmidt Theorem.  This theorem leads […]

Jock McOrist and Kostas Sfetsos are co-Principal Investigators on a project that has been awarded a FAPESP grant for a joint research project between the Fields, Strings and Geometry Research Group at Surrey and the Insitute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Sao Paolo and Universidade Estadual Paulista both in Brazil.  The project title […]

Stephen Gourley recently made a two week visit to Hong Kong Polytechnic University to initiate new collaborative projects with mathematicians there. He worked with Professor Yijun Lou on the mathematical modelling of invasive weeds and pests. The project is motivated by the fact that these weeds and pests live outside their native territories and are […]

The first Emmy Noether Fellows, at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Canada, have been announced.  Sara Pasquetti is one of two winners.  The Fellowships bring exceptional early career physicists to Perimeter for periods of three months to a year. They enable Fellows to pursue their research within Perimeter’s stimulating environment and to interact […]
