This page lists seminars for a previous academic year. Click here to see seminars for the current year.
Applied and Computational Mathematics Seminars are held on Wednesdays between 3pm and 4pm during the academic year in the UCD Science Centre (map). Special seminars would be also arranged on different days and during the summer breaks. For comments and speaker suggestions please contact the seminar coordinator Dr Eugene Kashdan. The ACM/Wave Group seminars organised by Prof Frédéric Dias are usually two hours long (3pm-5pm) and include two talks. The newly established ACM/Climate Science seminars are organised by Dr Xuefeng Cui.In the Spring Semester, the seminars are held in the Room H1.51, Science Hub.
