School to Hold One-Day Workshop Honouring Professor Mark Ablowitz

The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science (SMSAS) at Kent will be holding a one-day workshop on Integrable Systems and Nonlinear Waves on Wednesday 18 July.

The Workshop will honour Professor Mark Ablowitz from the University of Colorado (Boulder, USA), who will receive an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Kent in recognition of his ‘exceptional contributions to the science of nonlinear phenomena’, during a ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral on Thursday 19 July.

 

Workshop speakers include:

  • Roger Grimshaw (University College London)
    Internal solitary waves and internal undular bore over variable topography
  • Rod Halburd (University College London)
    Carlitz differential equations and integrability
  • Karima Khusnutdinova (Loughborough University)
    On KP and 2D cKdV-type models for surface and internal waves in fluids
  • Sara Lombardo (Loughborough University)
    Spectra as complex curves: nonlinear waves instabilities by means of elementary algebraic-geometryā€¯

 

The workshop is supported by a grant from the QJMAM Fund for Applied Mathematics.

There is no registration fee and lunch will be provided for registered participants. Following the workshop, there will be a wine reception.
