News and Forthcoming Events

AARG! The Applied Analysis Reading Club is meeting on Thursdays at 4:15pm in 4W 1.7; the seminar schedule is online.

2011

Applications are invited for a University Research Studentship on Large deviation analysis of systems far from equilibrium. This project is jointly supervised with Peter Mörters (Mathematics) and Rob Jack (Physics). A project decription is available. See the scholarship page for more information.

2010

We are now part of the EU Initial Training Network Fronts and InteRfaces in Science and Technology.

2009

7-8 December 2009: Workshop Atomistic Models in Solids, a joint event between OxMOS and the network Mathematical Challenges of Molecular Dynamics. Organisers are John Ball, Jon Chapman, Gero Friesecke, Endre Süli, Weinan E and myself.
13 - 15 July 2009: The Second Annual Meeting of the EPSRC network Mathematical Challenges of Molecular Dynamics: A Mathematical-Chemical Forum will be held in Bath. Co-organisers are Graeme Ackland, Giovanni Ciccotti, Roman Schubert and Florian Theil.
A group picture for the Workshop Variational and Topological Methods and Water Waves, on the occasion of John Toland's 60th birthday, is now available online. As one can see, the healthy humidity of the English air seems to be mistaken by some visitors as rain.
14 - 16 May 2009: Workshop Variational and Topological Methods and Water Waves, Bath, organised jointly with Geoffrey Burton and L E Fraenkel.

2008

30 November - 6 December 2008: Workshop Interplay of Analysis and Probability in Physics, Oberwolfach, organised jointly with Wolfgang König and Peter Mörters.
30 June - 2 July 2008: BICS Workshop Lattice Models, Bath, organised jointly with Chris Budd, Giles Hunt and Srikanth Phani.

2007

3 December 2007: A new network Mathematical Challenges of Molecular Dynamics: A Mathematical-Chemical Forum will link nodes in Bath, Bristol, Edinburgh and Warwick.
11-17 February 2007: Mini-workshop Multiscale and variational methods in materials science and the quantum theory of solids, Oberwolfach, organised jointly with Isabelle Catto, Isaac Chenchiah and Ivan Veselić.

2006

11-15 September 2006: A Regional LMS Meeting and an associated workshop Analysis and Stochastics of Growth Processes will be held in Bath. The aim of this workshop is to bring together analysts and probabilists working on the mathematical description of growth phenomena. Models based on the physics of individual particles will be discussed alongside models based on the continuum description of large collections of particles. Subjects covered in the workshop include evolution equations, crystal growth, ferromagnetism, lattice gases, diffusion limited aggregation, variational calculus, curvature flows, and coarsening. Plenary speakers are Pierre-Louis Lions and Timo Seppäläinen. Organisers are Roger Moser, Peter Mörters, Mathew Penrose, Hartmut Schwetlick and myself.
26-30 June 2006: The Bath Institute for Complex Systems is organising a summer school Modelling Across the Scales. Lecturers include Carsten Carstensen , Rachel Kuske , Hans Mühlhaus and myself. This summer school is linked to the summer schoon Complex Networks: Analysis, Control and Applications held in Bristol in the following week (3-7 July 2006). Another related summer school ‘Dynamics of Complex Systems’ will be held at Imperial in 2006.
25 April 2006: Minisymposium Dissipative multi-scale models in materials science, organised jointly with Stephen Watson, as part of the BAMC Colloquium 2006, 24-27 April 2006.
