MaThRad

MaThRad is #hiring! We are delighted to announce that our Clinical partners at UCLH are looking to a recruit a talented Radiotherapy Research Physicist to join their team

The coolest collaboration we have seen! Read our thoughts on the NASA x Prada x Axiom collaboration #ToTheMoon #MathematicalSciences #RadiationTransportModelling #Innovation #SpaceIndustry #ArtemisIII #OutOfThisWorld

Latest research by Jacobs ANSWERS has brought attention to the potential advantages that Quantum Computing could offer in enhancing the planning, design and operation of radiation facilities across the nuclear, medical, and space sectors: world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Viewp…

📢EXPERT COMMENT: Government plans for a nuclear revival to move towards energy independence Full comment here 👉warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/… @MaTh_Rad @warwickmaths @uniofwarwick #nuclearenergy #greenenergy #MaThRad

🎓PhD Project Opportunity🎓 This project with @MathsatBath and @NPL aims to quantify the personalised impact of physical & biological uncertainties in customising radiotherapy treatment planning. Read more here: tinyurl.com/y7njdpmk #PhDProject #Radiotherapy #UQ #ApplyNow

📢 Opportunity Alert!📢 @uniofwarwick's new centre CAMaCS warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/camacs is currently recruiting for a Centre Manager, a Programme Manager and 3 Innovation Research Associates (InRAs) to help boost knowledge transfer activities. Read more: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/camacs #hiring

In their recent #researchpaper, #SimonHarris @elh435 @a_kyprianou and #EllenPowell prove a many-to-few result for general #BranchingProcesses - Check it out arxiv.org/pdf/2211.08662… #MaThRad

Some serious food for thought in the latest paper from @RosyCers, @lbpartay & #ErinTeich in @npj. Although the points made are levelled at computational materials modellers they should have a wider relevance for anyone working in the Sciences nature.com/articles/s4152…

For the final presentation of the @MaTh_Rad workshop, Mikolaj Kowlaski (Cambridge) discussed methods for modelling Neurons moving through a highly inhomogeneous material. A great talk on Markov media and Arak dynamics. #MaThRad #ANSWERS

Oliver Tough (@MathsatBath and @MatTh_Rad) gave a detailed and insightful talk connecting genetic population models to Neutron MC, demonstrating a method to estimate clustering time #MaThRad #ANSWERS

Day 2 in Bournemouth at the ANSWERS seminar enjoying the🌊views & lively discussions! Eric Dumonteil from @CEA_Officiel started today's #MaThRad workshop with fascinating talk relating to clustering in Neutron Monte Carlo simulation to gambling discussions by Pascal and Fermat

Finally, we finished the day listening to John Tramm (ANL) demonstrating the power of the random-ray method - with 650 times the speed of a deterministic solver, uniform uncertainty compared to Monte-Carlo. Cutting Edge stuff!

We welcomed @warwickstats Adam Johnson to the floor next to present a fascinating talk about the formulation of sequential Monte Carlo, the history and the particle population control method

MaThRad's Alex Cox (Bath) discussed using exact methods for simulating the stationary distribution, giving theoretical background to the evolution of the expectation

Valeria Raffuzzi (Cambridge) explored in greater depth about MC source convergence acceleration. She showed how multi-group MC approximates the highly varying nuclear cross-sections

Paul Smith (@JacobsConnects) took the floor next to give a great report on mesh-free and mesh-based convergence diagnostics and accelerating fission source convergence

Mikolaj Kowalski (Cambridge) followed with an overview of SCONE - a free, open-source MC solver designed for easy use which can implement random ray methods

We began the day with Simon Richards showing us the @JacobsConnects MONK program, using superhistory powering to avoid bias even in inhomogeneous domains

The MaThRad team are excited to be in beautiful Bournemouth to contribute to the annual ANSWERS seminar this week. It's been a fantastic day so far....

Huge congratulations to @MathsatBath PhD student Jennifer Power who has won silver and £1,000 at @STEM4Brit in @UKParliament for her research on optimising radiotherapy #cancer treatments. bath.ac.uk/announcements/… #WomenInSTEM #STEM4BRIT #Maths
