On Friday 7th June 2019 the University of Reading will host their annual SIAM-IMA Student Chapter Conference.
This is a student-organised conference for early-career mathematicians. There will be three plenary talks, several student talks and a poster session. Refreshments, including lunch, will be provided and we will go to dinner together afterwards.
The event will bring together PhD students from different universities, giving them the chance to broaden their horizons and see what other students are working on. Furthermore, the conference will give students who are thinking about starting a PhD in mathematics a unique insight into what doing a PhD is like.
Keynote speakers
Prof. Nick Trefethen, University of Oxford: Professor of numerical analysis and head of the Numerical Analysis Group at Oxford, who has made many contributions in both the theory and applications of numerical analysis
Prof. Valentina Escott-Price, Dementia Research Institute, University of Cardiff: who uses machine learning and bioinformatics for big data problems in genetics and neuroscience
Dr. Karl-Mikael Perfekt, University of Reading: Lecturer of Pure Mathematics, working in operator theory, complex analysis, and spectral theory, recent winner of 2018 Zemánek prize in functional analysis, awarded by IMPAN
