Maths education seminar: Lara Alcock on Reasoning about Mathematical ‘If-Then’ Statements
Speaker: Prof Lara Alcock (Loughborough University) Title: Reasoning about Mathematical ‘If-Then’ Statements Abstract: Mathematics routinely uses ‘if-then’ statements to express theorems and conjectures, stipulating that a proposition ‘if A then B’ is false only if A is true and B is false. Everyday language routinely uses ‘if-then’...
Training course on Visualisation, AI-Assisted Analysis and Quantification of Tomographic Datasets
General course information Lab/synchrotron X-ray tomography has emerged as one of the most important techniques for research in a wide range of applications including healthcare, energy, food and geology. Advances in the quality of X-ray beams, optics, high speed data acquisition and in-situ environments have made significant improvements to non-destructive...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Ashwin Bhat
Speaker: Ashwin Bhat (University of Birmingham) Title: Constructing Non-Rectifiable Delone Sets Abstract: Delone sets, also known as separated nets, are point sets in Euclidean space that are both relatively dense and uniformly discrete. They model aperiodic structures, which have been of great interest since Dan Shechtman first observed quasicrystals,...
Frankie Patten-Elliott -- Modelling drug binding to biological ion channels [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Frankie Patten-Elliott (Manchester) as part of the Maths in the Life Sciences seminar series (and the online North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences in collaboration with Liverpool Universities). Title: Modelling drug binding to biological ion channels Abstract: In a healthy heart, ion...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Sam Streeter (Bristol)
Speaker: Sam Streeter (Bristol) Title: Hilbert property for del Pezzo surfaces of degree one Abstract: Various conjectures in arithmetic geometry predict the abundance of rational points on Fano varieties. In dimension two, these are the well-studied family of del Pezzo surfaces, whose arithmetic and geometric complexity is controlled by their...

Speaker: Giovanna De Lauri (Lancaster) Title: TBC Abstract: TBC Room: Frank Adams 1, Alan Turing Building
AI Fun with ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Jin Zhu
Our invited speaker on 14 October will be Jin Zhu from the University of Birmingham. Title: Statistics-Powered Detection of LLM-Generated Text Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude enable the rapid and large-scale generation of human-like text. Their impact is everywhere, from education and academia to professional...

Title and abstract to follow. The talk will be also be streamed via Teams, please contact carl.whitfield@manchester.ac.uk...
Training course on in situ experiments and digital volume correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
