Avalanches, tsunamis, solar storms: Siddhartha Mishra is captivated by unstable and turbulent flows. He combines mathematics with scientific computing in a bid to understand their common causes. Helping him in his quest are equations, first written down by the Swiss mathematician, Leonhard Euler.
Four speakers at Congress of Mathematicians
Siddharta Mishra is one of four speakers at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) which is the most important event in a mathematician’s calendar. It is organised by the International Mathematical Union and takes place every four years in a city chosen by the Union. Starting with the inaugural one in 1897, Zurich has been the only city to have hosted the congress three times (1897, 1932 and 1994).
The Department will be represented by fielding four invited sectional and plenary speakers at the ICM 2018, which is being held in Rio de Janeiro from 1 to 9 August.
- Rahul Pandharipande: Plenary Speaker
- Peter Bühlmann: Probability and Statistics
- Thomas Willwacher: Topology and Mathematical Physics
- Siddhartha Mishra: Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing
