Our PiWORKS speaker for April is Dr Maria Bruna, Royal Society University Research Fellow, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge.

The talk will take place from 1-2pm British Summer Time.

Title: Continuum models of stochastic systems of interacting particles

Abstract: I will discuss stochastic systems of interacting particles. These models are motivated by the study of many-particle systems in biology or industrial applications, where it is crucial to account for the finite size of particles. I will explain how these interactions can be included in the models and different methods to derive continuum PDE descriptions. In the second part of the talk, I will show how these methods can be used in two applications.

Sign up now to receive the Zoom details! The target audience for the talks are 3rd/4th year undergraduate and MSc students, but PhD students or academic staff are very welcome to attend.

The aim of our monthly PiWORKS (Piscopia Initiative – Women and Other Researchers Keynote Series) seminar is threefold; we want to

1. Showcase the work of women and non-binary mathematics researchers.

2. Provide a taste of different areas of mathematics research to undergraduate and MSc students.

3. Build an UK-wide community of women and non-binary researchers and mathematics students.

The Piscopia Initiative (piscopia.co.uk) is a student-led outreach scheme that aims to encourage women and non-binary students to pursue a PhD. Join our mailing list to stay updated on all our events: https://bit.ly/3lAAReV
