Debra Lewis and Arnd Scheel appointed as new IMA directors
The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) in Minneapolis
announces the appointment of two new directors. Arnd Scheel, Professor
at
the University of Minnesota, will replace Fadil Santosa as the Deputy
Director. Santosa has completed seven years of service at the IMA. Debra
Lewis, Professor of Mathematics at UC Santa Cruz, has taken a two-year
leave
to join the IMA in a visiting position and serve as Associate Director
of
the IMA.
Both Debra's and Arnd's research involve aspects of modern dynamical
systems
theory, in applications ranging from numerics of Hamiltonian systems to
nonlinear waves in reaction-diffusion systems. Arnd works in dynamical
systems, especially the dynamics of PDE and the formation and stability
of
patterns and waves. He joined the University of Minnesota in 2001,
coming
from the Free University in Berlin, where he received his doctorate in
1994
and Habilitation in 2001. Debra's research is in the area of geometric
mechanics, particularly Hamiltonian and Lagrangian systems with
symmetry.
She received her PhD in Berkeley in 1987, spent 1988-1989 as an IMA
postdoc,
and has been on the faculty at Santa Cruz since then.

Markus Owen appointed Reader at Nottingham
Markus Owen has been appointed to a Readership at the University of
Nottingham from July 2004, where he has joined the Centre for
Mathematical
Medicine in the School of Mathematical Sciences. His work involves the
application of nonlinear mathematical models to problems in cell
biology,
ecology, immunology and neuroscience.

IMA Annual Programs for 2004/2005/2006
The topic of the Institute of Mathematics' (IMA) annual program
2004/2005 is
the Mathematics of Materials and Macromolecules: Multiple Scales,
Disorder,
and Singularities. The program is organized around three focus groups
with
weekly seminars, in addition to 9 workshops and tutorials; see
http://www.ima.umn.edu/matter for more information. Nonlinear dynamics
will
play a key role in many aspects of the program. An example is problems
arising from the presence of disparate time scales in models of
macromolecules. Registration and participation are free. Limited funds
are
available for local and travel support.
The annual program 2005/2006 will have Imaging as its main theme,
http://www.ima.umn.edu/imaging. The program is open to applicants for
postdoc fellowships and general memberships,
http://www.ima.umn.edu/docs/membership.html.
