Training course on advanced scripting and batching of tomographic datasets
23 - 24 March 2026
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow...

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Nikolai Prokhorov
23 March - 18 June 2026
Speaker: Nikolai Prokhorov (University of Manchester) Title: Graphs and meromorphic functions Abstract: Let f be a polynomial (in one variable) with complex coefficients. It can be viewed as a self-map of the complex plane C. Suppose that f has exactly two critical values, namely -1 and 1. Consider...
