Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Gabriel de Area Leao Souza
Title: The Subnormalizer conjecture* and p-solvable groups Abstract: Subnormalizers are group theoretic objects that have been around for decades, within the confines of pure group theory. Recently, a family of conjectures has been proposed which suggests they should have major relevance to representation theory as well. In this talk, we will...
Maths education seminar: Jean-Baptiste Gramain on working with students as partners to build community
Speaker: Jean-Baptiste Gramain (University of Aberdeen) Title: SMEG! Working with students as partners to create opportunities and foster a sense of community. Abstract: I launched the Student-led Maths Education Group (SMEG) in October 2025, with a group of 10 undergraduate students keen to get involved in discussions to improve the provision...

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...

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...
