Confirmed speakers include ... |
| Today 15:00 - 16:00 |  Seminar: Songwriting as a System: The Semantic Machine, a Song That Changes with the World Around YouCentre for Multimodal AI Abstract Recorded songs are often defined by repetition: one structure, one set of lyrics, one definitive version. This talk proposes an alternative model of songwriting through Transmutable Music, an overarching term for music that can change in response to data, interaction, system behaviour, and contextual information, creating new kinds of listening experiences. The talk presents The Semantic Machine, a mobile-app artwork and song-based transmutable composition developed by Tracy Redhead... |

| Mon 29 Jun - Fri 3 Jul 2026 |  Conference: Amplitudes 2026Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy The Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy at the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences is delighted to announce that Queen Mary University of London will host Amplitudes 2026, the international conference on scattering amplitudes, from 29 June to 3 July 2026. Amplitudes is an annual international conference series focused on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory, string theory, and related areas of high-energy theoretical physics. The series has become since its inception in... |
| Mon 29 Jun 2026 11:00 - 12:00 |  Seminar: The Goldilocks Histone: How Genomic Stability Requires Centromeres to Be Epigenetically “Just Right”Centre for Molecular Cell Biology Dr Yael Nechemia-Arbely Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, University of Pittsburg, PA, USA Summary Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a heritable epigenetic mark that determines centromere identity and is essential for the accurate segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Here I will discuss the role of DNA methylation in maintaining centromere and neocentromere position, size, and function, and how CENP-A overexpression drives genome instability and... |

| Wed 1 Jul 2026 11:00 - 12:00 |  Seminar: Implicit music evaluation and the dynamics of popularity  Centre for Multimodal AI The seminar is structured in two parts. The first part will present a new testing procedure for the implicit assessment of the emotional-semantic content of music. The procedure is based on the well-known effects of film music that can shift the emotional-semantic perception of visual scenes and it has been developed in the context of evaluating audio branding assets. The second part considers evaluation and liking at the collective level and presents a new computational model for analysing the... |
| Wed 1 Jul 2026 14:00 - 15:00 |  Seminar: Chemistry Seminar: Prof. M. Clelia Righi (University of Bologna, Italy) Centre for Chemical Research Title: "Advancing solid interfaces and lubricants by materials modeling and design" Abstract: Tribology is an interdisciplinary field involving knowledge from physics, chemistry, and mechanics, focused on the study of interface phenomena, including adhesion, friction, lubrication, and wear. By advancing materials to reduce friction and wear, significant energy savings and reductions in carbon oxide emissions can be achieved. However, this is not an easy task due to the complexity of the... |
| Fri 3 Jul 2026 16:00 - 17:00 |  Special Mathematics Colloquium: On lines and particlesCentre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation Join us for a Special Mathematics Colloquium delivered by Professor Bernd Sturmfels (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig). Title: On lines and particles Abstract: Momentum twistors in particle physics are lines in 3-space. We explain how this works and what it means for configurations of lines. Algebraic geometry provides a common language for line incidences, rigidity theory of graphs, and Feynman integrals for scattering amplitudes. |
| Tue 7 Jul 2026 10:00 - 12:00 |  Conference: Data for Future Integrated Mobility  Centre for Networks, Communications and Systems [Registration Link]: https://londondataweek.org/ldw26-events/#data-for-future-integrated-mobility About the Event As urban mobility systems become increasingly complex, the need for data-driven, integrated, and sustainable transport solutions has never been greater. This event brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore how advanced data analytics, AI, and digital infrastructure can shape the future of mobility in London and beyond. What to Expect ... |
| Mon 13 - Fri 17 Jul 2026 | Conference: New Perspectives on Evolution Equations and Related Topics Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation The aim of this workshop is to explore key topics in the theory of evolution equations, both linear and nonlinear, which lie at the intersection of mathematical analysis and physics. The event is designed to foster collaboration between leading... |

I show that this phenomenon is not a coordinate artifact, but rather a covariant property of energy-momentum flow, arising when phase propagation and energy transport... |
