The idea of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For three students from...

Reproducibility should be the bedrock on which our collective scientific research literature rests. Numerous "irreproducible results" serve as counterexamples showing us how far we are from achieving that ideal. At the same time, scientific inquiry...

The goal of the summer school is to take a small collection of highly motivated and talented undergraduate students from mathematics, applied mathematics, science and computer science who are interested in the fundamentals of modelling and practical...

Particle-laden flows are ubiquitous in environmental, geophysical and engineering processes. The intricate dynamics of these two-phase flows is governed by the momentum, heat and mass transfer between the continuous fluid phase and the dispersed...

Compressive sensing in its most practical form aims to recover a function that exhibits sparsity in a given basis from as few function samples as possible. One of the fundamental results of compressive sensing tells us that $O(s \log^4 N)$ samples...

The talk is aimed at a general academic mathematical audience, so should be suitable for graduate students, post-docs, and faculty. The set of solutions to a diophantine equation is strongly influenced by the geometry of the associated algebraic...

The vast majority of organisms, because of their small size, live in a regime where their inertia is negligible. Familiar strategies for locomotion through fluids, such as imparting momentum onto the surrounding medium, are ineffective at this scale...

Before Mazur proved his theorem on the possible torsion groups on elliptic curves over Q, Manin had shown in 1969 that for a fixed number field K and prime p, the p-primary torsion of elliptic curves over K was uniformly bounded. We will explain a...
