The paper “AdS3 integrability, Sine-Gordon and fractional supersymmetry“, with author Alessandro Torrielli, has been accepted for publication in Physical Review Research as a regular article. A final form preprint in available on the arXiv (link here). The massless S-matrix of the pure RR AdS3 X S3 X T4 theory is very similar but not quite […]

The paper “Modelling dysfunction-specific interventions for seizure termination in epilepsy”, co-authored by Aravind Kumar Kamaraj and Matthew Szuromi (Boston University, USA), has been published in the npj Systems Biology and Applications (link to published paper here). The authors use a parsimonious two-dimensional neural mass model to study why first-line treatments fail to terminate seizures in a subset […]

The project “Multi-dimensional, Multi-Soliton Patch Interactions“, led by Matt Turner and Dave Lloyd, has been funded by the EPSRC Small Grants Panel. The project ran from October 2024 to September 2025. The award was for £92K and provided 40% and 10% staff time respectively and travel money. The project aims to investigate the weak interaction of […]
