Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Bim Gustavsson: Sylow branching coefficients
Title: Sylow branching coefficients Abstract: In this talk we give a survey about the so-called Sylow branching coefficients; why they are interesting, what is known and what is not known.
AI Fun with ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Aurelien Bibaut
Our invited speaker on 11 November will be Aurelien Bibaut from Netflix. Title: Safe Adaptive Policy Learning Abstract: Offline policy learning can require less information than accurate estimation of the full environment. We provide a two-step offline policy learning procedure that constructs policy proposals on one data split and selects a...
Logic Seminar - Andrew Brooke-Taylor
Speaker: Andrew Brooke-Taylor (University of Leeds) TBA
Probability Seminar: Anastasiia Kovtun
Anastasiia Kovtun (University of Manchester) will speak at the Probability seminar. Title: The Dickman Distribution: Historical Perspectives and New Multidimensional Generalisations Abstract: Since its introduction in the 1930s, the Dickman function has found applications in various fields, giving rise to several related objects, including the...
Pure maths colloquium - Richard Webb
Speaker: Richard Webb (University of Manchester) Title: Finding surface subgroups in mapping class groups Abstract: The fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus at least two is a hyperbolic group, which we call a surface group. Many infinite groups turn out to be hyperbolic, and many contain an abundance of free subgroups. However,...
SQUIDS Seminar: Bill Lionheart
Speaker: Bill Lionheart (University of Manchester) Title: At last an SVD for EIT Abstract: 40 years ago when I started working on Electrical Impedance Tomography I thought I should look for an analytical form of the singular value decomposition of some simplified linearized case. I would like to report some modest progress..... An interesting...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Lewis Topley

Logic Seminar - Paul Levy
Speaker: Paul Levy (University of Birmingham) TBA
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...
