Thu 11 Dec 2025   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Thomas Schreiber (Stuttgart): A Transfer Entropy Story Centre for Complex Systems This talk will be centered around the concept of transfer entropy, as introduced some 25 years ago. An insider's recollection will be presented that outlines the irritation that eventually led to its definition. An outsider's view will then be given...

Fri 12 Dec 2025   14:00 - 15:00	Seminar: Sonja Greven (HU Berlin): Principal component analysis in Bayes spaces for sparsely sampled density functions Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science This paper presents a novel approach to functional principal component analysis (FPCA) in Bayes spaces in the setting where densities are the object of analysis, but only few individual samples from each density are observed. We use the observed...

Wed 18 Feb 2026   15:00 - 16:00	SEMS Seminars: Prof Sonja Billerbeck, Unlocking the Yeast Toxicome, Imperial College London Centre for Bioengineering Title: The yeast toxicome: A potential source for new antifungals for biocontrol, food and human health. Abstract: Fungal pathogens are an emerging threat to human health and food security. Very few fungicides are available and resistance to these is rising. It is a long-standing challenge to develop new antifungals. As eukaryotic pathogens, fungi offer very few selective drug targets and we urgently need new strategies for antifungal development. Ascomycete yeasts – such as...
Thu 19 Feb 2026   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Luke Davis (U Edinburgh): Stochastic geometry of active matter Centre for Complex Systems For equilibrium hard spheres the stochastic geometry of the insertion space, the room to accommodate another sphere, relates exactly to the equation of state. We begin to extend this idea to active matter, analyzing insertion space for repulsive...
