Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Anja Meyer
Title: Pure mathematics in medicine Abstract: Traditionally, pure mathematics is described as the kind of maths we do without any regard to applications. However, this divide is rather arbitrary, and many methods from fields classified as “pure maths” are already enjoying direct applications in other sciences. In this talk I will present two...
Impact Bites: Policy Engagement session
The FSE Impact Team are starting a new event series to give academics short introductions to different aspects of research impact pathways and impact, using examples from around the faculty. Delivered over lunchtime, these 30min sessions will give you new approaches, ideas, and perspectives on research impact to think about when carrying out your...
Training course on advanced scripting and batching of tomographic datasets
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke...
Logic Seminar - Charlotte Bartnick
Speaker: Charlotte Bartnick (Universität Freiburg) Title: Definable groups in differentially closed fields of positive characteristic Abstract: Definable groups in theories of fields can often be described in terms of algebraic groups. For example, by a result of Pillay, every definable group in a differentially closed field of characteristic...
SQUIDS-NASC Joint Seminar: Generalized Friendship Paradoxes in Network Science
Speaker: Professor Desmond J. Higham (University of Edinburgh) Abstract: Generalized friendship paradoxes occur when, on average, our friends have more of some attribute than us. These paradoxes are relevant to many aspects of human interaction, notably in social science and epidemiology. I will present some new theoretical results concerning...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Rubén Izquierdo López
Speaker: Rubén Izquierdo López (ICMAT, Madrid) Title: The geometry of variational problems: An introduction to multisymplectic geometry Abstract: It is well known that autonomous classical mechanics can be described using symplectic geometry. By introducing a symplectic structure on an even-dimensional manifold (usually the cotangent bundle...

AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Gabriella Pizzuto
April's invited speaker will be Gabriella Pizzuto from the University of Liverpool. Title and abstract to follow. Gabriella is a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow and Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Robotics and Chemistry Automation at the University of Liverpool. Gabriella is very excited to develop methods towards creating the...
Training course on visualisation and quantification of tomographic datasets
A 2 day in person training course covering theory and computer-based practical works using the Thermo Scientific™ Amira-Avizo Software. 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...
