Congratulations to PhD student Krzysztof Maliszewski, his supervisor, Dr Varvara Vetrova, and coauthors Dr Magdalena Urbańska and Dr Sylwia Kolenderska. Their paper "Selective nonlinearities removal from digital signals" was accepted to the prestigious CVPR conference.

Dr Chris Stevens and student Ollie Markwell boldly tackle some of the implications of CCC theory (Conformal Cyclic Cosmology) for mathematical physics in a recent paper in General Relativity and Gravitation and in this interview. youtube.com/watch?v=0SPz_z…\ link.springer.com/article/10.100…

As part of a recent international study led by Dr. Matthew Hobbs to establish the importance of geography and place in our physical activity levels, Prof Elena Moltchanova applied Random Forest – to analyze a dataset with 185,245 data points and 19,000 participants!

On average, 12 people a day are dying with Covid-19 in Aotearoa New Zealand. Though the total number of deaths is lower than initially predicted, UC Professor @MichaelPlankNZ expects this death rate to continue for a few more weeks. @UCNZMaths bit.ly/3qF8KyI

Two years have passed since Aotearoa NZ first entered a nationwide lockdown to eliminate #covid19. Here, @UCNZ experts Professor @MichaelPlankNZ, Dr @hobbs_PA & Assoc Professor @arinbasu sum up our pandemic journey & consider, what happens next? @smcnz bit.ly/3r30Xv1

While Covid-19 vaccine passes are being phased out, Professor @MichaelPlankNZ, @droneale & Dr @emilynz say face masks, vaccinations & ventilation are still important to limit transmission. @UCNZMaths @punahamatatini @UCEngineering @ConversationEDU bit.ly/3JFDtDu

Cabinet is due to review the country's Covid-19 restrictions today, with any decisions announced on Weds. @UCNZMaths Professor @MichaelPlankNZ thinks vaccine passes will go, but warns measures can't be put away for good with the threat of new variants. bit.ly/3trSAL6

While some businesses in Ōtautahi Christchurch may be feeling quiet at the moment, @UCNZMaths Professor @MichaelPlankNZ says Waitaha Canterbury is close to its Omicron peak. @NZStuff bit.ly/3qe9MBG

From 11:59pm tonight kiwis with Covid-19, & their household contacts, can isolate for 7 days instead of 10. @UCNZMaths Professor @MichaelPlankNZ supports this change but wants more testing to reduce the risk of contacts spreading the virus. @radionz bit.ly/3J4phmW
