• Some new aspects of Bacterial-Bacterial and Bacterial-Algal Interactions in the Marine Environment

  10 September 2019, 18:00 - 19:00

  My research interests are wide ranging. In bioinorganic chemistry, these extend from models for zinc, molybdenum and non-heme iron metalloprotein active sites, to design of metal complexes as artificial restriction enzymes for molecular biology to the mechanisms of iron transport and storage in microorganisms to the design and synthesis of...

• Efficient storage mechanisms for building better supercapacitors

  27 August 2019, 14:00 - 15:00

  We simulate systems consisting of ionic liquids electrolytes and carbon electrodes. We adopt a bottom-up strategy which consists in starting from a simple system with planar graphite electrodes before to tackle the more complex problem of realistic nanoporous electrodes. In our simulations we can apply a potential difference between the...

• Computing Science Seminar. Bowles on "Logic Approaches for Health Care"

  13 April 2016, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: This talk shows how two different logic-based approaches can be used to (1) detect conflicts in the treatment of multiple chronic conditions, and (2) modelling cancer and tumour growth. (1) We developed an automated approach focusing on the composition of (static or behavioural) design models via constraint solvers. This approach is...

• Computing Science Seminar. Moncur on"The role of digital technologies in transitional life events"

  16 March 2016, 13:00 - 14:00

  Abstract: Digital technologies are now used across the human lifespan. In this seminar, I'll discuss my HCI research that explores the current roles of digital technologies across transitional human life events (becoming an adult, becoming a parent, breaking up, retiring, end of life ), and the ways in which digital technologies could be designed...

• Computing Science Seminar. de Ruiter on "How Not to Study Interaction"

  09 March 2016, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: In this talk I will argue that human interaction cannot be studied properly using the standard experimental methods that have been successful in other areas of the cognitive sciences. Of the many problems with these methods, I will focus on two important ones: (a) the trade-off between experimental control and ecological validity, and (b) profound...
