MIC to co-host annual meeting of the Irish Mathematical Society

MIC Limerick

Mary Immaculate College (MIC) and the University of Limerick (UL) are to co-host this year’s annual meeting of the Irish Mathematical Society (IMS). The 36th annual event, which will take place on Thursday 31 August and Friday 1 September, will bring together researchers from a wide range of mathematical fields.

The event will outline new developments in diverse areas of algebra, geometry, functional analysis, numerical analysis, computational neuroscience, quantum field theory, partial differential equations, mathematics education and statistics. The schedule of talks features over a dozen experts from across Ireland and the United Kingdom, including the Head of the Department of Mathematics & Computer Studies at MIC, Dr Bernd Kreussler, who will discuss twistor spaces from an algebraic geometry perspective.

The programme also includes a poster session for postgraduate students and early career researchers and contributions from winners of the 2022 RIA Hamilton Prize in Mathematics.

According to Assistant Professor in Mathematics at MIC, Dr Derek Kitson: “The Department of Mathematics & Computer Studies at MIC is thrilled to be co-hosting this meeting with our colleagues in UL. The IMS meeting is the most prominent annual meeting for mathematicians in Ireland, dating back to 1988. It is an opportunity to showcase the best of mathematics in Ireland; to strengthen national and international research networks and to encourage the next generation of mathematicians in Ireland.”

Registration for the event is open until 5pm on Monday 28 August. You can find out more about the conference, including the full list of speakers, by clicking here.
