GENERAL NEWS

• Read a recent profile piece written by Science magazine (Next Wave)
• I have recently been nominated as an Advanced Research Fellow of EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) in the UK to pursue my work on function theory in multiply connected domains
• click here to download a PDF version of my presentation at the 2005 American Physical Society meeting in Chicago. It concerns the calculation of the lift forces on multiple aerofoils.
• click here to download a PDF version of my presentation at the 2004 American Physical Society meeting in Seattle. It's on vortex motion in the presence of solid boundaries.
• I'm a lucky recipient of a Philip Leverhulme Prize. Read more about this here.
• Click here to see how attentive the students at MIT are...
• I am organizing a satellite meeting to the upcoming ICM-2006 in Madrid: the satellite conference website is at www.ucm.es/info/isiam
• Watch out for the special issue of the Journal of Engineering Mathematics (Vol 50, Issues 2/3, 2004) on ``Thin Film Flows'' of which I was an invited Editor
• The above figure shows new solutions for Stuart vortices on a sphere (read more)
• Read a recent review of "Conformal mapping methods for interfacial dynamics" which I wrote for Springer (with M. Bazant of MIT)
• Take a look at our winning entry to the ``Gallery of Nonlinear Images'' competition at the APS March Meeting in Canada in 2004. The simulation, performed using iterative conformal mapping techniques, is of transport-limited aggregation on the surface of a sphere (joint work with Bazant, Davidovitch and Choi)
• I am a participant in the European Network in Geometry, Mathematical Physics and Applications (ENIGMA); I am also involved in the European Science Foundation project entitled (Methods of Integrable Systems, Geometry, Applied Mathematics -- MISGAM).
