Mathematics & Statistics @ Faculty Research Day
On Tuesday 16 December the Faculty of Computing, Digital and Data held its annual Research Symposium and the School of Mathematics & Statistics was well represented.
The Research Symposium was a fantastic success, showcasing the wide variety of research and innovation taking place in this vibrant Faculty, spanning all the disciplines of computing, mathematics and statistics.
In particular, the day comprised of presentations, "thesis in three" focused insights, posters and demonstrations. There was an enthusiastic, collegiate atmosphere with researchers at all stages of their careers able to mix, discuss ideas and discover new research taking place in the Faculty.
During the symposium, Eoin Scanlon presented his research on "The renormalized stress-energy tensor for scalar fields in Hartle-Hawking, Boulware and Unruh vacuum states for higher-dimensional black holes". In addition, John Butler demonstrated his interesting work on eigenfaces in "Maths in the Wild: Face Recognition" and PhD candidate, Lyudmila Ivanova outlined her research in a poster entitled "Internal-Wave Dynamics and Solitary Solutions in the Presence of Currents – effects of shear currents on internal-wave solitons in the ocean".
