Alex Craik (on leave from St Andrews University) has just spent a year
as a visiting researcher at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences,
Kyoto University. From 1 February till 30 June 1999, he takes up a
visiting position at:
Department of Applied Analysis and Complex Dynamical Systems,
Graduate School of Informatics,
Kyoto University,
Yoshida-Honmachi, Sakyo-ku,
Kyoto, 606-8501, JAPAN
There, he will teach a graduate course (in English!) on wave motion and instability in fluids. E-mails sent to either addc@st-and.ac.uk or addc@kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp will be forwarded to him.
Dr. Vadim Kuznetsov has been awarded a 5-year Advanced Research Fellowship from the EPSRC. He will be working in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Leeds. The research subject is the theory of Backlund transformations and discretisations for finite-dimensional integrable systems with applications to geometric integration and special functions.
The official announcement can be found in Mathematics News; The newsletter of the EPSRC Mathematics Programme; Issue No. 6 Winter 1998 Edition
Dr Gary Froyland has recently been appointed as a two year DFG Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at The University of Paderborn. He joins the Num erical Analysis and Dynamical Systems Group headed by Prof. Dr. Michael Dellnitz and will work within the project Numerical Methods for the Investigation of Chaotic Dynamics. This project is a theme of the DFG priority programme on Ergodic theory, Analysis, and efficient simulation of Dynamical Systems.
