[10/6/16]  Prof. Serafim Kalliadasis gave a seminar at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge as part of their Fluid Mechanics seminar series.

[17/5/16]   Congratulations to group member Andreas Nold, who successfully defended his doctoral thesis in his PhD viva examination recently. The internal and external examiners were Prof. Erich Müller (IC, Chemical Engineering) and Prof. Dr. Detlef Lohse (Twente, Applied Physics), respectively.

[7/4/16]   Prof. Serafim Kalliadasis together with Dr. Peter Yatsyshin (Imperial College), Dr. Ben Goddard (University of Edinburgh), Dr. Marc Pradas (Open University) and Dr. Nikos Savva (Cardiff University), organised the Minisymposium “Statistical mechanical and phase field modelling of inhomogeneous fluids” at the 2016 British Applied Mathematics Colloquium at Oxford University.

Originally regarded as a part of condensed matter and physical chemistry, today statistical mechanical and phase field modelling of fluids is a truly cross disciplinary area which involves physicists and applied mathematicians, as well as engineers, chemists and biologists on the academic front, and industrial scientists and engineers on the applied front. The minisymposium aimed to address an apparent gap in the BAMC agenda regarding statistical mechanical and phase field models, by bringing together leading experts from different communities.

Speakers: Prof. Andrew Parry (Imperial College), Dr. Andrew Archer (Loughborough University), Dr. Kostya Trachenko (Queen Mary University of London), Dr. Jim Lutsko (ULB), Prof. Tapio Ala-Nissila (Aalto University) and Dr. Markus Schmuck (Heriot-Watt University).
