Nonlinear waves in Space plasmas

by
This Friday, 3rd of February at 10.00 CET the ATHENA Talks of Athena European University hosts Professor Ioannis Kourakis from the Khalifa University in UAE.
 
The title of the talk will be ‘Nonlinear waves in Space plasmas:overview of recent advancements on the interface between nonlinear science and plasma physics’.
 
Dr Ioannis (or Yannis) Kourakis is based at the Department of Mathematics at Khalifa University of Science and Technology (Abu Dhabi) where, asides his academic duties, he is currently Theme Leader for Magnetospheric Modeling at the KU Space and Planetary Sciences Center (since 2021). He has held academic and research positions in the UK, in Germany, in Belgium, in Brazil and in the UAE. He has also served in various editorial and consulting roles in a number of international journals (including Scientific Reports by Springer Nature) and research funding bodies. His research focuses on nonlinear dynamics and soliton theory, with emphasis on nonlinear waves and shocks in Plasma Physics and in Space Science. Earlier work has spanned various areas, including optical instabilities, dissipative solitons, negative-refractive-index materials, Bose-Einstein condensates and hydrodynamics. He has published more than 250 articles in refereed journals and in conference proceedings. Based in the UAE since 2018, he has been awarded one ADEK/ASPIRE grant and two internally funded (KU) research awards as PI, on different projects, totaling 3.43M AED (approx. $1M).

The university mathematics lecture: To record, or not to record, that is the question

by
The Athena European University is delighted to host this Thursday (19th of January 2023, 10 CET), Assoc. Prof. Maria Meehan, University College Dublin, Ireland, in collaboration with Innovative Teaching Education in Mathematics – iTEM, MathDigger Erasmus, and Pythagoras Erasmus.
 
The title of her talk will be ‘The university mathematics lecture: To record, or not to record, that is the question..’
 
“While recordings of lectures proved invaluable for students’ learning during the pandemic, as our university transitioned back to in-person teaching there was a call from some lecturers to remove the requirement to provide lecture recordings due to the perceived negative impact on attendance. Colleagues in other universities describe similar debates. In this talk, I will present findings from studies conducted with colleagues on the role of recordings in the teaching of undergraduate mathematics, from both before and after the lockdown due to the pandemic. As an education researcher and mathematics lecturer, I will discuss the implications for lecturers’ practice.”
