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...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Eng-Jon Ong
Speaker: Eng-Jon Ong (Queen Mary University of London) Title: Discrete spectrum in S-adic substitution dynamical systems via the balanced pair algorithm Abstract: Substitutions and S-adic dynamical systems are a natural framework for generating and studying infinite symbolic sequences via the iterative application of substitution rules. For two-letter...
Eder Zavala -- Mathematical analysis of endocrine rhythms and wearable time series data [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Eder Zavala (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: Mathematical analysis of endocrine rhythms and wearable time series data Hormones are essential...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Anna Pratoussevitch
Speaker: Anna Pratoussevitch (Liverpool) Title: Discreteness of Ultra-Parallel Complex Hyperbolic Triangle Groups Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss discreteness criteria for groups of complex hyperbolic isometries generated by complex reflections. In particular, we will focus on the case of groups generated by three complex reflections...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Eoghan McDowell
Title: Zeros of characters of symmetric groups Abstract: Interest in zeros of characters stretches back to Burnside's classical result that every non-linear character has a zero, and persists to this day in open problems such as Moretó–Rizo's proposed generalisation of the McKay conjecture. Zeros of characters of the symmetric group are connected...
AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Joey Bose
On 11 February, we will have Joey Bose from Imperial College London. If you cannot attend in person, please register via the Ticketsource link provided and you will receive the link to join the Teams session. Title: Flow Maps and Normalizing Flows for Accelerated Generative Modelling of Molecules Abstract: This talk will be broken into 2 distinct...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Leadership & Team Building: Challenge-Led Hackathon
In a vast university setting, bringing together interdisciplinary researchers to tackle complex challenges is essential. These teams combine expertise from various fields, focusing on problems that cannot be solved through a single research lens. But how do you find colleagues with similar interests? How do you identify those willing to collaborate? Join...
Logic Seminar - Martin Bays
Speaker: Martin Bays (University of Oxford) Groups from non-expansion in higher dimension Call a complex polynomial f(x,y) _expanding_ if there is e>0 such that for all sufficiently large finite sets A and B of complex numbers with |B| >= |A|, we have |f(A,B)| > |A|^{1+e}. A result of Elekes and Rónyai shows that the only non-expanding polynomials...
SQUIDS-Statistics Joint Seminar: Automatic Tuning for Gradient-based Bayesian Inference
Speaker: Professor Christopher Nemeth (Lancaster University) Abstract: In Bayesian inference, the central computational task is to approximate a posterior distribution—often by designing dynamics whose stationary law is the posterior, or by directly minimising a variational objective such as a KL divergence. A unifying way to view many of these...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Anton Izosimov
Speaker: Anton Izosimov (Glasgow) Title: The dimer model and dynamical incidence geometry Abstract: The dimer model is an archetypal model of statistical physics. In recent years, it has also emerged in connection with gauge theory and integrable systems. We propose a geometric counterpart of the dimer model on bipartite graphs. A state of our...
