Pioneer tomorrow's technology We welcome you to our Postgraduate Open Day at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC). Your visit here will equip you with as much information as possible about our programmes and enable you to get a taste of life in the ORC and Southampton first-hand. You will visit our world-class facilities and have plenty of time to talk to students and staff about what it's like to study here. We are looking for the photonics pioneers of the future to join our vibrant community and work alongside our world-leading researchers. Whether you are planning to stay in academia or work in industry, you will benefit from exceptional opportunities at the ORC that will give you the edge. This introductory afternoon runs as follows: ORC Coffee Room 14:00-14:20 Introduction to studying Photonics at the ORC (Dr Peter Horak) 14:20-14:40 PhD overview, funding and application process 14:45-15:15 Laboratories tour (B46) 15:30-16:00 Clean rooms and laboratories tour (B53) Mountbatten Seminar Room (B53/4025) 16:00-16:20 Your student experience at the ORC (by the Optics and Photonics Society) 16:20-16:30 Questions and answers Contact orcadmis@orc.soton.ac.uk for further information and to register your interest.

A lunchtime session for the STFC research community is being run by Research and Innovation Service’s Impact Funding Team and a  buffet lunch will be provided.
 
We will be using this opportunity to showcase projects that have benefited from the University’s STFC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) funding thus far. We will also be launching this year’s new STFC IAA award in readiness to receive your project applications.

We are welcoming SME partners and collaborators to the event who may have been part of  previously successful IAA awards or with whom a new project idea could form the basis of an STFC IAA funded project. Please do feel free to share this invitation with colleagues/ collaborators/ partners etc.

Welcome to the NGCM Summer Academy 2019
 
We are delighted to announce the Summer Academy of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Computational Modelling (Registration will open shortly - details will be available on the website).
 
The Summer Academy will run from Monday 1st to Friday 5th of July at the University of Southampton (Boldrewood Campus).
 
The NGCM Summer Academy is a one-week event bringing together PhD students from across the UK who work on computer simulation of science and engineering problems, and want to extend their training through the workshops available at the Summer Academy. The training is delivered by world-leading experts and key developers of the relevant software tools, and includes
 
- 1.5 day course on VTK Mayavi
- 1.5 day course on Optimisation
- 2 day course on Machine Learning
- 1 day course on CUDA GPU programming
 
Note that the VTK/Mayavi and Optimisation workshops will be running in parallel. Prerequisites vary from course to course, but generally include at least some programming experience. For more information please see our FAQs.
 
General registration will open shortly - please watch the Summer Academy website. There is a nominal attendance fee of £10 per person per course.

Simple mathematical models have had remarkable successes in biology, framing how we understand a host of mechanisms and processes. However, with the advent of a host of new experimental technologies, the last ten years has seen an explosion in the amount and types of data now being generated. Increasingly larger and more complicated processes are now being explored, including large signalling or gene regulatory networks, and the development, dynamics and disease of entire cells and tissues. As such, the mechanistic, mathematical models developed to interrogate these processes are also necessarily growing in size and complexity. These detailed models have the potential to provide vital insights where data alone cannot, but to achieve this goal requires meeting significant mathematical challenges. In this talk, I will outline some of these challenges, and recent steps we have taken in addressing them.
