Welcome to the third annual SAMBa Summer Conference, taking place on the 8th and 9th July, 2019.
This website will be updated with conference details (as they are confirmed) including speakers, abstracts, registration forms and the conference schedule.
The conference is hosted in the Mathematical Sciences department of the University of Bath.
Travel information for getting to the university can be found on the University of Bath website, on this page. Additionally, a map of the campus and surrounding area is available through this link. You can also contact the conference team using the information in the contacts section.
The SAMBa conference is an opportunity for students to showcase their current (or future) work to members of the department, outside the department and at other Universities in a supportive environment. The work of SAMBa students covers the entire spectrum of statistical applied mathematics; including projects in statistics, probability, analysis, numerical analysis, mathematical biology, fluid dynamics, machine learning and high performance computing. The conference is organised by students and contains talks by SAMBa students, external speakers, and students from other departments and institutions.
To register for the SAMBa Conference, please complete the registration form available here. Registration will close on 19th June 2019.
Below is the schedule for the conference. The list of speakers can be found below the timetable, along with talk titles and abstracts when they come available.
Each block of talks is nominally linked by a broad theme, which are given to provide some idea of the focus of that session. However mathematics is a very rich subject and reasearch will normally full under many of these themes. See the list of speakers for full details on what will be presented in each session.
The focus of this session will be research grounded in probability theory and its applications.
This session will look to explore research under the broad heading of "applied mathematics". Expect to see research that has been motivated by studying a physical problem.
In this session the focus will be on research projects that have been formulated at SAMBa ITTs, directly from problems motivated by SAMBa partners.
Numerical Analysis will be the broad theme for this session.
Cohort 5 will each have 3 minutes to present the research they will be undertaking over the summer, or research they have done at an ITT.
(Evening) Conference Meal :: See details below.
There will be an evening meal held on monday 8th July. The venue will be Las Iguanas in Bath town centre; you can view the menu here.
All conference attendees are welcome, however we are unable to cover the costs of an individual's meal, so it will be at personal expense. If you are interested in coming please indicate as such when you complete the registration form; and once you have made your food choice complete the seperate evening meal pre-order form to confirm your order, which is available on the registration form page.
The deadline for pre-ordering is 19th June.
This section lists the confirmed speakers, and their titles and abstracts as they become available.
SAMBa students who are interested in giving a talk or presenting a poster should contact one of the conference organisers. Please note, the deadline for titles and abstracts is Friday May 29th.
The SAMBa conference is organised by 5 SAMBa students. If you are interested in attending, giving at talk, or have any questions you can contact the team at this email address.
