On 1 September it will聽be 35 years since arrived听补迟 the University聽and began work as a Mathematics lecturer in what was then known as the Faculty of Mathematical Studies.
To mark this occasion, a group of colleagues from Mathematical Sciences聽are sponsoring a conference entitled ‘Liquid Crystals, Life and Languages, and other mathematical interdisciplinary studies: Tim Sluckin at 65.’
will take place over two days,聽on Tuesday 30 August from 12:00 –聽17:55* and Wednesday 31 August from 09:30 – 15:10 in Building 56, Highfield Campus.
To indicate the breadth of聽Professor聽Sluckin’s academic interests, Tuesday鈥檚 programme will be devoted to theoretical physics (in particular, soft condensed matter and liquid crystals, the focus of much of Tim鈥檚 work over his career).
Wednesday鈥檚 programme will include:
- A talk from (Mathematical Sciences) on Bayesian inference
- A talk from 聽(Southampton Business School) on economics
- A talk聽from (Mathematical Sciences) on聽mathematical biology
- Talks on linguistics
- Talks on biological anthropology
