Four New Lecturers in Mathematics
Tuesday 4 October 2011
We are delighted to announce the appointment of four new lecturers in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Surrey:
Ian Morris will join the Department from a postdoctoral position at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research areas include thermodynamic formalism, optimization problems in ergodic theory and applications of ergodic theory to the study of joint spectral characteristics of sets of matrices.
Alessandro Torrielli previously held a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York. His research interests include quantum field theory, classical and quantum integrable systems, AdS/CFT correspondence and quantum groups.
Cesare Tronci will come to Surrey from a postdoctoral position in the Chair of Geometric Analysis at EPFL. His interests incude collisionless kinetic equations and their moments, inviscid fluid flows, Hamiltonian/Lagrangian systems on Lie groups and geometric modelling for soft matter.
Martin Wolf previously held an STFC postdoctoral fellowship in DAMTP, Cambridge, where he was also a tutor at Wolfson College. His research areas include twistor theory, integrability, string/gauge dualities (AdS/CFT and twistor string dualities) and supergravity.
The appointments of Alessandro and Martin began in September 2011, while those of Ian and Cesare will begin in January 2012.
