News
- The Royal Statistical Society (UK) has announced in the March 2007 issue of
the RSS News that the Guy Medal in Silver 2007 is awarded to Professor
Howell Tong for his many important contributions to time series analysis
over a distinguished career, and in particular for his fundamental and
highly influential paper "Threshold autoregression, limit cycles and
cyclical data", read to the Society in 1980, which paved the way for a
major body of work in non-linear time series modelling. Previous recipients
of the medal, which was inaugurated in 1893, include Maurice Bartlett,
George Box, David Cox, Henry Daniels, David Kendall, C. R. Rao, Bernard
Silverman, Adrian Smith, Peter Whittle, and others.
- Congratulations to Gianne Derks, who has been promoted to Reader, and to
Ian Roulstone, who has been promoted to Professor in the Department of
Mathematics at the University of Surrey.
- As of the end of 2006 Atlantis Press has taken over the publication of the
Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics. A new JNMP website is completed, with all JNMP articles transferred to this site.
Appointments
-
Dr. Jochen Voss has been appointed to a position as Research
Associate at the University of Warwick, working with Dr. Martin
Hairer and Professor Andrew Stuart, in the area of Stochastic
Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs), effective March 2007.
Dr. Voss will be investigating theoretical and computational aspects of
the use of SPDEs for the sampling of random fields.
Recent Theses
Jobs
- Applications are invited for PhD studentships in the general area of Nonlinear
Dynamics, available from July 2007 within the Department of Mathematics at the
University of Surrey. Funding is available for UK students (fees plus a
maintenance grant) and EU students (fees only).
For further information, please contact Prof Ian Melbourne.
- Department of Aerospace Sciences, Cranfield University is offering bursaries for places on its MSc course in Computational Fluid Dynamics. The course is designed to reflect
the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics across industry, from
aerospace and mechanical engineering applications to environmental flows,
process systems, microfluidics and cross-disciplinary applications.
