About

The Cardiff SIAM-IMA Student Chapter is proud to host the SIAM UKIE National Student Chapter Conference in 2024. The conference is a two-day event on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th of June.

The two-day conference will include four invited talks, contributed talks by attendees, a poster session and a conference dinner. Invited speakers cover various mathematical backgrounds, and we are pleased to also have an industry speaker at the conference. The conference is open to all postgraduate research students across the UK and Ireland. There will be plenty of opportunities to network. Moreover, this offers a great chance to those attending to present their research, either through a poster or a contributed talk.

The conference will be held in the newly built Abacws building, located in Cardiff. We are a 30 minute walk from Cardiff Central Train Station or alternatively, Cathays Train Station is located right next to the building and is only a 10 minute journey from Cardiff Central.

Plenary Speakers

We are pleased to annouce the following plenary speakers, with abstracts to follow shortly:

Speaker 1: Dr. Isaac Chenchiah ~ University of Bristol

Dr. Isaac Chenchiah
Morphing Triangular Frameworks

Bio: Dr. Chenchiah expertise lies at the interface between mathematics on one hand, and solid mechanics, structural engineering & biology on the other hand. Current projects include morphing structures, wound healing and electroreception in bees.

Speaker 2: Prof. Claudia Garetto ~ Queen Mary University of London

C well-posedness of higher order hyperbolic equations with multiplicities

Bio: Prof. Garetto's expertise lies in the field of Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Analysis. Her research delves deeply into various aspects of this field, including hyperbolic equations and systems with multiplicities, PDEs characterized by singular coefficients and very weak solutions, and sub-elliptic problems on compact Lie groups.

Prof. Claudia Garetto

Speaker 3: Dr. Matthew Jones ~ Nationwide Building Society

Dr. Matthew Jones
An overview of the application Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services

Bio: Dr. Jones's is head of Risk Decision Science and Analytical Innovation at Nationwide Building Society. He is responsible for motivating and nurturing a large advanced analytics team delivering cutting edge tools across multiple business departments to drive optimal business outcomes.

Speaker 4: Prof. Igor Podlubny ~ Technical University of Kosice

Fractional-order calculus in one hour: ideas, methods, and tools

Bio: Prof. Podlubny's research focuses on the theory and applications of fractional calculus. He has published over 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals and is the author of the book "Fractional Differential Equations".

Prof. Igor Podlubny
