Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Clifford Gilmore
Speaker: Clifford Gilmore (Université Clermont Auvergne) Title: Universality of composition operators and applications to complex dynamics Abstract: Birkhoff uncovered the first example of a universal operator in 1929, when he showed that translations acting on the space of entire functions can display a maximally divergent behaviour. It was...
Mathematics of Waves and Materials Seminar - Amir Ghasemkhani
Title: Microstructure-Informed Modelling of the Achilles Tendon Using Continuum Beam Finite Elements Abstract: The mechanical behaviour of the Achilles tendon depends on its collagen microstructure and twisted subtendon architecture. We investigate these contributions using an Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation (ANCF) finite-element framework,...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Bim Gustavsson
TBA
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
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...
Logic Seminar - Andrew Brooke-Taylor
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...
SQUIDS Seminar: Romina Gaburro
Speaker: Romina Gaburro (University of Limerick) Title and abstract will appear here soon.
