2015

[21/12/15] Congratulations to group members Andreas Nold and Michael Dallaston for their pictures which were selected as star entries at the 2015 TYC Christmas Card Competition.

[07/12/15]  Professor Serafim Kalliadasis together with Professor Grigorios A. Pavliotis (Imperial College), Professor Johannes Zimmer (University of Bath), Dr Michela Ottobre (Heriot Watt University) and Dr Ben Goddard (University of Edinburgh) organised an International Workshop on Molecular Dynamics at the Imperial College London, UK, on December 7th through to  December 10th 2015. The workshop placed a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches to Statistical Mechanics including Molecular Dynamics. It brought together researchers from different communities (Chemists, Engineers, Mathematicians and Physicists) to discuss recent advances, ongoing research activities and open problems related to Statistical Mechanics and its numerous applications in natural phenomena and technology. The workshop was supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

[24/11/15] Get together of group, former members and friends to celebrate the success of presenting our most recent results at the 68th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics, Boston - USA.

[01/10/15] SK gave several invited talks from January to October: Plenary Lecture at 8th GRACM International Congress on Computational Mechanics (University of Thessaly - listing here); Invited Talks at Princeton University (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), Workshop Nonlinear Dynamics of Structure Formation at Interfaces (Center for Nonlinear Science, Wilhelms-Universität Münster - listing here), Multidisciplinary Seminar Program (Chemical Engineering, Universitat Rovira i Virgili - abstract) and Applied Mathematics Seminar Series (School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham - abstract); and Research Seminar at Tokyo University of Science (Mechanical Engineering).

[26/05/15] The recently accepted article "A two-parameter extension of classical nucleation theory" authoured by JF Lutsko (CENOLI, Uni. Brux.) and Miguel DO (Chem. Eng.) was selected as a labtalk news article for J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, as well as for inclusion in IOPselect.

[01/04/15] Dr David Sibley (former member of our group) is currently a Lecturer at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Loughborough University.

[03/03/15] SK was invited to the College’s annual Gala Dinner. The Gala Dinner celebrates the outstanding achievements of Imperial's community in the last academic year (listed in the commemorative booklet distributed at the event). Guests include staff, students and alumni who have received awards for excellence or who have made exceptional contributions to the College, as well as friends and supporters of Imperial.

[02/03/15] Matteo Morciano (BSc Mechanical Engineering and master's student at Politecnico di Torino in Mechanical Engineering) joined our group within the context of an international master-thesis programme (advisors: Asinari Pietro and SK) in order to undertake research on molecular dynamics of fluids in confinement.

[25/02/15] Get together of group, former group members and friends to celebrate Dr David Sibley’s recent success of securing a Lectureship in Applied Mathematics at Loughborough University.
