A work from 2004 by Vito Latora, Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Centre for Complex Systems, and two co-authors has been selected for a collection of highly influential papers on statistical and nonlinear physics published in Physical Review E (PRE). The selection identifies 35 works from the journal's 33-year history that ... [more]
Prof Ana Sobrido was recently interviewed by Francesco Pinci, Marketing Manager at BOSS Energy, to explore the real challenges shaping the future of energy. One of the strongest insights from the discussion is that the biggest obstacle to scaling sustainable energy globally is not the absence of technology. According to ... [more]
Glynn Winskel presented a paper with Hugo Paquet from Inria, Paris at the Mathematical Foundations of Program Semantics Conference (MFPS) in Ljubljana. The paper presents a very general model of concurrent games on event structures with symmetry, in which strategies satisfy the laws of composition up to a weak notion ... [more]
It is not just cows that emit the powerful greenhouse gas methane – microbial emissions from the natural world will inevitably increase as our planet continues to warm. A new study led by Professor Mark Trimmer of Queen Mary University of London, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, explains how ... [more]
This "behind-the-research" blog by Mark Trimmer, Professor of Biogeochemistry, takes readers beyond the published findings to reveal the motivations, challenges, and human stories that shaped the study. Say methane and most people think of cows, yet nearly half of all methane is produced by microbes in freshwaters. While we know ... [more]
Dr Aidan Hogg, Lecturer in Computer Science at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, has been awarded a prestigious £607,233 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) New Investigator Award to lead a new project rethinking hearing assistive technology. The three-year project, Spatial Hearing Augmentation to Improve Hearing Assistive ... [more]

Pasquale Malacaria and Yunxiao Zhang have a paper published in a top security journal, IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS), on Strategic Decision-Making in Uncertain Turn-Based Security Games. The paper studies the problem of cybersecurity decision making. It extends previous Leader-Follower game-theoretical models where the leader is the ... [more]
Queen Mary University researchers have developed a new AI-powered framework, MetaBeeAI, designed to help scientists review and analyse vast amounts of literature faster, more transparently, and with greater human oversight. Dr. Rachel Parkinson, who is the leading researcher on this project, states that MetaBeeAI could potentially transform how evidence is ... [more]
A major new study led by Queen Mary University of London has revealed that methane emissions from biogas plants across Europe are higher than some estimates suggest—yet, once identified, the majority of these emissions could be eliminated at no net cost. A biogas plant is a facility that turns ... [more]
