Emerging Numerical Linear Algebra Research Gathering for Exchanging Developments

Emerging Numerical Linear Algebra Research Gathering for Exchanging Developments

ENLARGED

Monday 14th September

Rutherford Appleton Laboratory

The Computational Mathematics Group from STFC's Scientific Computing Department is hosting a workshop on Numerical Linear Algebra. All are very welcome to attend but registration is mandatory.

 

Goal

The goal of this 1-day workshop is to bring together NLA researchers to exchange ideas and stimulate new research directions. Researchers and practitioners interested in numerical linear algebra and its applications are welcome to join us. In addition to two plenary talks, we plan to keep the rest of the meeting quite informal, with participants giving short talks and ample time for discussions.  
 

Registration

All are welcome, and there is no registration fee for attendance, but registration is mandatory - registration DEADLINE: 30th June 2026. Please register using this form.
Please bring a valid ID (BRP, Passport, Driving Licence, etc) to allow you onto the RAL site.
 
We will go out for dinner in the early evening. Attendees will pay for their meal. Please indicate on the form whether or not you'd like to join us when registering so we have a rough idea of the numbers.
 

Plenary Speakers

Matt Colbrook (Cambridge University)

Malena Sabate Landman (Bath University/Warwick University)

Location

The postcode for the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is OX11 0QX.

The nearest train station is Didcot, and the Thames travel X24/X34/X35 buses travel between Didcot Parkway Station and the Harwell Campus (~ 30 minute journey, with a bus every ~ 15 minutes). Taxis are also available at Didcot Parkway Station.

Detailed travel instructions are provided on the STFC "How to Find Us" page. The official website for the bus service can be used to plan your journey.

Talks will take place in the Pickavance Theatre building R22 on the main Rutherford Appleton Laboratory site. On arrival, please report to reception and they will direct you to the Pickavance Theatre. If driving, reception will direct you to a suitable place to park.
