About this Event
Curiosity about the way things change with time is what drives the broad disciplinary area known as dynamical systems. Sometimes the “thing” of interest might be the spread of infectious disease, principles of robotic control, the physiology underlying cell signaling, or some other phenomenon in science or the humanities. Other times the focus is on a purely abstract system just because its evolution in time is fascinating to a mathematical eye or because investigating the system may advance our knowledge of what is possible in general. I will talk about some of the dynamical systems that intrigue me and how my research interests and projects have themselves changed over time.
Vivien obtained BSc and MSc degrees at the University of Auckland and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. After postdoctoral positions at the University of California, Berkeley and at Caltech she returned to NZ to a lectureship at the University of Auckland. Vivien has been active for many years in supporting the recruitment, retention and development of women in mathematics and in science, and is a past President of the NZ Mathematical Society. Since 2017 she has been Associate Dean Postgraduate Research – Doctoral in the Faculty of Science.
Refreshments will be served in the basement foyer of building 303 (303-B00L2) from 5:30pm, prior to the lecture.
