ANU Mathematics: beyond the MSI and all the way to France
The newly created IRL FAMSI aims to support collaboration between the ANU as a whole and the French mathematical community. To help ANU staff not based at the MSI connect with the IRL, but also simply to help mathematicians across campus to get to know each other, we are organising a small workshop on Friday 12 September, 9:30am-12pm.

About
The workshop will include micro-talks (10 minutes) presenting research done outside the MSI, in the language of mathematics (i.e. accessible to someone with an undergraduate education in maths, but no other prior knowledge).
Schedule:
9:30am: Vanessa Robins (Physics) Applications of computational topology for fun and profit
9:50am: Kevin Lu (Finance) Pricing energy spread options with variance gamma-driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck dynamics
10:10am: Robert Mahony (Engineering) Equivariant Systems Theory
10:30am: break to chat
11am: Nicolas François (Physics) Lagrangian dynamics, Langevin equations and Fluctuation theorems in turbulent flows
11:20am: Idione Meneghel (Economics) Equilibrium in Bayesian games with a continuum of types
11:40am: break to chat
12pm: lunch
