Happy Pi Day and International Day of Mathematics!

Official Logo of International day of Mathematics

40th session of the General Conference of the UNESCO in November 2019 has adopted the inaugural celebration of the the International Day of Mathematics on March 14, 2020.

The website of International Day of Mathematics is www.idm314.org

Mathematics is everywhere

  • Mathematics help plan and manage economic and social systems enabling the move towards a sustainable use of resources.
  • We travel the world guided by precise mathematical calculations based on the position of the sun, stars and GPS satellites.
  • We explore the inside of the human body through CT scans and MRI by building images out of numerical data through mathematical algorithms.
  • We discover how human thought works by building AI software that can learn and make decisions through mathematic models.
  • We photographed a black hole and continue exploring the edges of the universe with mathematics.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today, at the International Women’s Day, we celebrate all women who are contributing to mathematics at our group and around the world. We are privileged to have these collaborations.  

Miss Linda Botchway was a MSc student at AIMS Ghana, now starting her PhD at the University of Ghana in Accra. She is working on the pseudo-differential calculus on the lattice and it’s applications.

Marianna Chatzakou is a PhD Student at Imperial College London, currently under the supervision of Boguslaw Zegarlinski. Her thesis is to extend the pseudo-differential analysis explicitly available on the Heisenberg group to the context of Engel and Cartan groups, and to study the Poincare inequality on stratified groups. She is also working on the spectral and other properties of anharmonic oscillators.

Dr Aparajita Dasgupta was an Academic Visitor at Imperial College London, now a staff member at the IIT Delhi. Her research interest is in harmonic and functional analysis, and in the theory of pseudo-differential operators.

Aishabibi Dukenbayeva is a PhD Student at Ghent University. Her research interests are in Partial Differential Equations, (Non–local) Boundary Value Problems, Inverse (Spectral) Problems.

Dr Serena Federico is a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Ghent University! Her research interest are in the analysis of fundamental lower bounds for partial differential operators on compact Lie groups, and on smoothing estimates for time-dependent evolution equations. She is also working in micro local analysis and pseudo-differential operators. 

Dr Véronique Fischer is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bath. She deals with harmonic analysis and geometry of Lie groups and their representation theory, pseudo-differential operators, and geometric analysis.

Dr Claudia Garetto is a Senior Lecturer at Loughborough University. Her research focuses on hyperbolic equations and hyperbolic systems with singularities and multiplicities.

Dr Ljubica Oparnica is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Ghent University! Her research interest is mathematical analysis of intego-differential and partial differential equations, arising from mechanics.

Dr Daulti Verma is an Academic Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. Her research interests are Hardy inequalities in different forms. 

Dr Gulzat Nalzhupbayeva is a Senior Lecturer at Kazakh National University. Her research interests are Partial Differential Equations. 

Doctoral school on inverse spectral and scattering problems

Inverse problems for differential operators are of the utmost importance in fundamental sciences and in a range of applications, including solutions of different types of partial and pseudo differential equations. We are dealing with inverse spectral and inverse scattering problems, which are both interesting topics on their own and as tools in solving the wide range of linear and nonlinear problems, appearing in natural sciences, economics and industry.

We will be organising a course on this topic From Monday 2 March to Wednesday 11 March 2020 from 10h00 – 13h00.

GF2020 Generalized functions conference

Ghent_GF_2020_v4

GF2020 International Conference on Generalized Functions

will be taking place during 31 August – 4 September 2020, at Ghent University, Belgium.

We are pleased to invite you to the International Conference on Generalized Functions (GF2020), to be held at Ghent University, Belgium, from August 31 to September 4, 2020. The conference is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Stevan Pilipović.

This conference continues a long-standing tradition of international conferences on generalized functions gathering researchers working in all branches of this field. The most recent conferences were held in Novi Sad (Serbia, 2018), Dubrovnik (Croatia, 2016), Southampton (United Kingdom, 2014), Martinique (France, 2011) and Vienna (Austria, 2009). The GF2020 aims at a broad coverage of research on generalized functions and their applications in and interactions with other areas of mathematics.

Keep an eye on the GF2020 Conference Website for useful information.

The conference is organised by the Department of Mathematics: Analysis, Logic and Discrete Mathematics. The head of the organising committee is Jasson Vindas, an expert on generalised functions, functional and wavelet analysis. For the full membership of the organisation committee, and for further information see here.
