Lecture course by Prof. Malcolm Sambridge
While on his sabbatical at EPM, Prof. Malcolm Sambridge from the Australian National University, Canberra is giving a short lecture course titled "Inverse problems and some methods of solution."
Symposium on Paleomagnetism
On Monday, August 19, EPM will organize a symposium in honor of the retirement of Prof. Ann Hirt. The event will take place in the LEE E-101 room. The full program is attached to this news item.
Grenoble-Zurich meeting on fluid mechanics and MHD
The annual two-day Grenoble-Zurich meeting of fluid mechanics and MHD took place this year in Lausanne, and we were joined on this occasion by the fluids group from Marseilles.
ERC Advanced grant for Prof. Andy Jackson
With this ERC project, Andy Jackson aims to investigate dynamo mechanisms that generate magnetic fields in the cores of rocky planets and gas giants. To simulate these processes, the project draws on the mathematical theory of optimal control to be able to compute the dynamics of planetary cores in a regime in which viscosity plays no leading-order role. The aspiration is to develop a new breed of dynamos that represent more accurately the processes of field generation.
