Anne Skeldon visited the University of Oxford yesterday (Wednesday 15 November) to visit and give a talk at the MRC Brain Dynamics Unit (link here). Her talk title was “Mathematical modelling of human circadian rhythms and sleep: implications for intervention design” and she presented some of her work over the past decade working with the […]

After his visit to UCLA (link here), Paul Bergold headed east and visited the Wisconsin Quantum Institute at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. His host there was Prof Micheline Soley. Paul gave a talk on Monday 16 October on his new Koopman method for simulating mixed quantum-classical dynamics that he has been working on with Cesare […]

Paul Bergold was in California last week (11-12 October) to visit the California Nanosystems Institute at UCLA for a two-day blue-sky thinking workshop “From Physics to Life” (link to programme page here). The conference was supported by the Templeton Foundation grant “Life on the Edge”. Day 1 was an academic day with talks from some […]

Lewis Napper was invited to give a talk in the Junior Analysis Seminar in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London on Wednesday 1st November. The title of his talk was “The Geometry of Monge-Ampere Equations and Fluid Dynamics“. Lewis is a PhD student working with Martin Wolf and Ian Roulstone. A link to […]

Congratulations to Dan Catlin for passing his PhD confirmation examination! It was held on Monday 30th October, and the examiners were Ian Brunton-Smith (Sociology, Surrey) and Anne Skeldon. The title of his project is “The network dynamics of international drug trafficking”. His project is supervised by Giulia Berlusconi and David Lloyd. The image below shows […]

This week (6-10 November) the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge is hosting a workshop on “Machine learning toolkits and integrability techniques in gravity“. Alessandro Torrielli gave the opening lecture on Monday morning at 10am on “The strange world of AdS2 integrability” (see link here for abstract). A link to the workshop website […]
