Congratulations to Masanori Hanada: his paper "Creating and probing the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model with ultracold gases: Towards experimental studies of quantum gravity", published in the Journal "Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics" won an Outstanding Paper Award of the Physical Society of Japan. Only five papers have been selected ... [more]
I am a Senior Lecturer in Psychology in the Centre for Brain and Behaviour, where I study how humans perceive voices. Human voices don't just tell us what someone is saying, voices also convey a lot of information about a speaker's intentions, feelings, and attitudes. Crucially, voices also help us ... [more]
Yinghao Ma, a PhD candidate in the Centre for Multimodal AI at Queen Mary University of London, has helped develop AutoMV, the first open-source AI system capable of generating complete music videos directly from full-length songs. Music-to-video generation remains a major challenge for generative AI. While recent video models can ... [more]
Triadic interactions—higher-order interactions in which one node regulates the interaction between two others—are widespread in complex systems, from gene-regulatory and metabolic networks to neuroscience and climate. For example, the presence or absence of an enzyme can affect the reactivity between two chemicals. Likewise, in the brain, glia cells ... [more]
Heliophysics is a broad discipline studying the Sun, its sphere of influence, and how it affects the bodies in the solar system – our space environment. Heliophysics is inherently cross-disciplinary, and includes components of solar physics, space plasma physics, ionosphere-thermosphere physics, magnetospheric physics, planetary physics, small body physics, and space weather. ...

Plenary Lecture: Redox Regulation of Photosynthetic Electron Transport by Anja Krieger (CEA, Sacley, France). Have a look at the preliminary programme to find out more. As usual, there is no registration fee. The ... [more]
Prof. Federico Ardila will be joining the School of Mathematical Sciences, QMUL in January 2026 as part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering Talent scheme. Ardila is a Colombian mathematician whose work in matroid theory lies at the intersection of combinatorics with geometry, algebra, topology, and applications. Apart from his ... [more]
As part of a team of collaborators, Dr. Natasha Blitvic recently published an article at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America entitled "Fluid flow generates bacterial conjugation hot spots by increasing the rate of shear-driven cell–cell encounters". The study uses probabilistic ... [more]
Physicists at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), together with international collaborators, have found evidence of the decay of Higgs bosons to muons. Muons are particles typically found in cosmic rays and have a low mass, and because of this the Standard Model of particle physics predicts that this decay ... [more]
Professor Nallanathan has been named a Highly Cited Researcher in Computer Science for the fourth consecutive year. He is one of just 119 researchers recognised globally in this field, and one of only 12 listed from the UK. Congratulations to Professor Arumugam Nallanathan, founding head of the Communication Systems Research (CSR) Group ... [more]
Our centre members Dr. Amaranta Membrillo Solis and Prof. John Moriarty are co-organising a two-day workshop in the School of Mathematical Sciences on the 12th and 13th January, titled "Geometric Methods in Probability". The first event on Monday 12th January will consist of a London Probability Day (LPD), an one-day ... [more]
Dr. Nicolás Hernández, Lecturer in Statistics at our Centre, has been awarded a Scheme 3 grant by the London Mathematical Society. The grant will support the creation of a new Joint Research Group focused on "Statistical Modelling and Inference for Functional Data Analysis". Functional Data Analysis is a rapidly ... [more]
The UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Council (EPSRC) has awarded an £84,036 research grant for exploring Metastability in generative diffusion models to Adrian Baule, Reader in Applied Mathematics in the Centre for Complex Systems. The project will target the foundations of AI image, audio, and video generators such as DALL-E, Stable ... [more]
Researchers at the Centre for Electronics at Queen Mary University of London have reported a fresh theoretical result that settles a long-standing question in materials physics. Their new study shows that a key set of calculations used to test whether a crystal could exhibit negative static electric susceptibility remains stable ... [more]
A team from Queen Mary University of London - School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences has been taking part in a global project that aims to sequence the genomes of all 11,665 European butterfly and moth species. 'Project Psyche' involves researchers, taxonomists, policymakers and citizen scientists from all over the world, ... [more]
To celebrate Disabilty History Month we introduce one of our PhD students: Daniel Gill. "I am a PhD Student primarily based in the Cognitive Science Research Group within the School of Electronical Engineering and Computer Science, though I am also associated with the Centre for Brain and Behaviour. My own ... [more]
Queen Mary is proud to launch a new specialist bioengineering programme, MSc Organ-on-a-Chip Technologies, now open for September 2026 applications. Delivered within the renowned Centre for Predictive In Vitro Models, the course provides advanced training in next-generation organ-on-a-chip, tissue engineering and in vitro technologies. Following the Government's recently announced strategy to ... [more]
