- Queen Mary researchers have been invited to be part of the organising committee for the programme Advancing Collider Physics: from Twistors to Monte Carlos (Organizers: A. Brandhuber, V.Del Duca, N. Glover, D. Kosower, G. Passarino, W.J. Spence, G. Travaglini and D. Zeppenfeld). This will be held from August 27 - October 26, 2007 at the Galileo Galilei Institute.
- In November 2005 we hosted the workshop From Twistors to Amplitudes. This meeting was dedicated to the recent advances in our understanding of perturbative gauge theory and gravity inspired by Witten's twistor string theory.
Recent News
November 2006
Valeria Gili, from the University of Pavia, Italy, joined us on a postdoctoral fellowship from the Foundation Boncompagni-Ludovisi.October 2006
Two new postdoctoral researchers join us: Yusuke Kimura from Tokyo, funded by a JSPS Fellowship from Japan followed by a two year position supported by a PPARC Rolling Grant, and Paul Heslop from Cambridge, funded on a three year position by the EPSRC.Three new PhD students join us - Vincenzo Calo (from Turin, funded by Queen Mary), Andrew Low (from Durham, funded by PPARC), and Daniel Thompson (from Imperial College, funded by PPARC).
Two of our 4th year PhD students, James Bedford and John Ward, have secured funding which will enable them to spend 6 - 12 months at CERN during their final year.
