By Joe Sampson

Tuesday, January 1, 2008

Mathematics lecturers David Richards and Joe Sampson and Mathematics Ph.D. student Aspriha Chakraborty attended CTAC ’08 (the 14th Biennial Computational Techniques and Applications Conference) at the Australian National University, Canberra, from 13-16th July. Aspriha presented a paper (co-authored with lecturers Manmohan Singh and David Lucy (both from FEIS) and Peter Ridland (from Primary Industries)) entitled “Estimation of Parameters for the Two Spotted Spider Mite With Prey-taxis”,

David presented a paper (co-authored with FEIS’s Aaron Blicblau, Manmohan Singh and student John Arundell) entitled “Dynamic Hip Fracture Modelling”.

Joe Sampson presented a paper entitled “A Numerical Solution for Moving Boundary Shallow Water Flow above Parabolic Bottom Topography”.

A total of ninety people, from a number of countries, attended the conference, which was on computational mathematics. Attendees included mathematicians, meteorologists, physicists, statisticians, engineers and computer scientists.
