Career Seminar
Engineering and Science Learning CentreRecruitment Event
B60, Keighton AuditoriumWe held a recruitment event on Tuesday 4th June. This involved a short introduction about SIAM, IMA and the work the chapter was doing, current PhD students gave a 3-5minute overview of their work, the opportunity to sign up to SIAM and refreshments. This was a really good opportunity for students to find out about the variety of research…
Movie Night – Hidden Figures
B60, Keighton AuditoriumWe held a movie night on Tuesday 18th June. Refreshments were provided before the film. We showed Hidden Figures, the incredible story of three brilliant African-American women working at NASA who served as the brains behind the launch into orbit of astronaut John Glenn, a stunning achievement that turned around the Space Race. This was a members only event that was…
Movie Night – The Man Who Knew Infinity
B60, Keighton AuditoriumWe held a movie night with free drinks and snacks that were left from the previous movie night. We showed the film The Man Who Knew Infinity, we always choose a movie that is mathematical. This is a good social activity and we promote joining the society before the movie and are available to talk…
Movie Night – The Imitation Game
B60, Keighton AuditoriumWe held a movie night with free drinks and snacks. We showed the film The Imitation Game, we always choose a movie that is mathematical. This is a good social activity and we promote joining the society before the movie and are available to talk to students afterwards about the Chapter and the joining process.
PGR Showcase Virtual Conference
via Microsoft Teamsevent where PGRs will showcase their work by giving short online talks as practise for upcoming virtual conferences or second year talks. 5 talks (20-25 minute) in total. Committee provided some feedback on the talks (in case presenters wanted to have some feedback).
Stochastic Modelling for Weather and Climate Prediction
via Microsoft TeamsAtmospheric models used for weather and climate prediction are traditionally formulated in a deterministic manner. In other words, given a particular state of the resolved scale variables, the most likely forcing from the sub-grid scale motion is estimated and used to predict the evolution of the large-scale flow. However, the lack of scale-separation in the…
Multiscale Approaches for Heart Perfusion
via Microsoft TeamsMicrocirculation and perfusion exemplify the mesoscale in physiological systems, bridging larger and smaller scale phenomena. Multiscale mathematical models represent a valuable tool to investigate and understand such phenomena, where a brute force computational approach is not viable yet. For microcirculation accurate models must comprise both interstitial and vascular compartments, along with their complex morphology. Transport…
Modeling sea-ice for climate research and short-term forcasting
via Microsoft TeamsAbstract The CICE sea ice model is used extensively by climate and Earth system research groups, and also by operational centers for applications such as numerical weather prediction and guidance for military operations. This presentation introduces the physics represented by large-scale sea-ice models, discusses some of the challenges in applying sea-ice modeling tools developed for…

Multiscale and Multiphase Models of Tissue Growth, Remodelling and Mechanics
via Microsoft TeamsUnderstanding biological tissue growth and mechanics is of fundamental importance to a wide range of diseases and biomedical applications. In this talk I will attempt to summarise (too briefly, probably) an optimistically large set of continuum-mechanical modelling approaches and experimental investigations that aim to shed light on some of these processes in the context of…
Convergence Properties of Dynamical Energy Analysis — A Ray-based Method Using Transfer Operators
via Microsoft TeamsDescribing the distribution of vibrational energy in real world applications is challenging, especially in the mid-to-high frequency regime. A very promising way is using densities of rays and creating a transfer operator T by a method called Dynamical Energy Analysis. This has been used in a range of real-world scenarios ranging from gear boxes over…
