We meet weekly during term time for an informal discussion of relevant topics. All are welcome to join. Location: we are currently operating in hybrid model, meaning that you have a choice (whether you are leading the discussion or are just a regular participant) to join online using Teams or in person. The room for each seminar is given in the program, below. Before joining the meeting, please familiarise yourself with our instructions and guidelines.
For any queries, or to be added to our mailing list, please contact the acting seminar organiser, Dr Jorge Quintanilla.
Organisation
Members take turns for leading the meetings, either by presenting their own research or reviewing a scientific article of choice. Whiteboard presentations are encouraged, but screen and projector can also be used. The atmosphere of the meetings is informal and so are meant to be the presentations. Occasionally the discussion is led by one of our visitors or a colleague from another institute joining us in person or via video-conference.
If you would like to volunteer for a presentation, please add your name and a topic, below, for an available date (if you do not have editing access to this page, could you please email someone who does – currently that’s all the academics listed under “Faculty” on the “People” page). “Offered” indicates the date has been proposed to a potential speaker and therefore it is not free at present. “TBA” means the slot is available. “No seminar” means there will be no DG scheduled that week (usually because of a clash with some other event).
Speakers are encouraged to email a title and abstract for their discussion to the group on the day prior to their presentation.
