Lewis Napper visited Paris last week (22-24 November) to give an invited talk at the conference associated with the network “Géométrie Différentielle et Mécanique“, held at the conference centre of the University of Sorbonne. Lewis spoke in a session on the 23rd November on “Monge-Ampere geometry and incompressible Navier-Stokes flows“. A link to the conference […]

César Javier Niche, an Associate Professor at the Instituto de Matematica, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, is visiting Mathematics, arriving next week (26 November) and staying for two weeks. His host is Camilla Nobili. He works on rigorous analysis of nonlinear PDEs in fluids. He will give a seminar on Tuesday 28th November on […]

Tomorrow (Tuesday 21 November), Lewis Napper is giving a virtual talk at the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (BIMSA). The title of his talk is “(Higher) Monge-Ampère geometry of the Navier-Stokes equations“. The talk takes place from 4-5pm local time. A zoom link, abstract, and other information are available at the BIMSA website […]

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 […]
