Managing the New Era in Business & Society - Virtual Joint PhD Workshop organized by ZJU and Tilburg UniversityVenue: A203, School of Management, Zijingang CampusAbstract:We are happy to announce the third TiU-ZJU workshop will take place on 27 May. The workshop is dedicated to research and best practice of PhD’s work on managing the new era in business and society. This PhD workshop is co-organized by Tilburg School of Economics and Management (TiSEM), Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences (TSB), Tilburg University, the Netherlands together with the School of Management (SOM) and School of Economics (SOE), Zhejiang University, China. Meeting societal changes often involves creating new business models, finding new ways to innovate, leveraging different technologies and strategy to engage with consumers, reconfiguring resources and designing new organizational structures. Yet today we still know relatively little about what organizations do to deal with these changes, what firms can do to boost their performance in the digital environment and how they can do this effectively and efficiently.Tilburg University and Zhejiang University have been collaborating increasingly closely during the past years. The purpose of this workshop is to further strengthen this collaboration, and to provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students from both sides to showcase their research and results of joint research projects, get to know each other’s research interests further and explore future collaboration opportunities. We invite faculty members, PhD students to join this workshop on 27 May. You can find the program below. 

Speaker:Lucy Osler,Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Department of Media, Cognition and Communication, University of Copenhagen

Speaker: Aaron Irving: Assistant Professor of International Campus, Zhejiang University.Venue: LTW 102/103 Tiered Lecture Classroom, International Campus

Speaker: XU Xianmin, associate professor of Institute of Computational Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.Venue: 316, Ouyang Chunmei Building, Yuquan CampusAbstract:The Onsager variational principle is a fundamental law for irreversible processes in nonequilibrium statistical physics. It has been used to model many complicated phenomena in soft matter. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction of the principle. In particular, I will show it can be used as a powerful approximation tool for many complicated two-phase flow problems. It can be used to derive efficient numerical methods for wetting problems on inhomogeneous surfaces. Contact: ZHANG Qinghai (0015089@zju.edu.cn)

Speaker: JI Hongbin, Professor of Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, University of Chinese Academy SciencesVenue: A203, ZJE building, International CampusAbstract:Professor Hongbin Ji finished his postdoc training in Harvard Medical School and is now the Professor in Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has received many honors and awards including National Outstanding Youth Fund.He holds a special interest in lung cancer genomics and biology. His research focuses on deciphering the molecular mechanism involved in lung cancerigenesis with the integration of genomic analyses of human lung cancer samples and functional and mechanistic studies in cancer cell lines, animal models and clinical specimens. These findings are published in a group of high-impact journals, such as Nature, Cancer Cell, Nature Genetics.

Speaker: SU Yucai, Professor of the School of Mathematical Science, Tongji UniversityVenue: Room 200-9, Run Run Shaw Business Administration Building, Yuquan CampusAbstract:The Virasoro-like algebra, a natural generalization of the well-known Virasoro algebra, is a Lie algebra closely related to Block type or Cartan type Lie algebras. In this talk, we present some results on Quasifinite representations of the Virasoro-like algebra. Contact: WU Zhixiang(wzx@zju.edu.cn)

Speaker: LI Wenwei, Beijing International Center for Mathematical ResearchVenue: Room 211, Run Run Shaw Science Building, Yuquan CampusAbstract:The metaplectic covering Mp(2n) of Sp(2n) plays a pivotal role in various aspects of representation theory and arithmetics. In order to harness the full power of Arthur's methods in this setting, we need a stable trace formula for Mp(2n). Thus far, only the elliptic terms have been stabilized. In this talk, I will report an ongoing work on the full stabilization, which will hopefully grant access to the whole genuine discrete automorphic spectrum of Mp(2n), for general n. This is based on the techniques of Arthur and Moeglin-Waldspurger, who worked with linear reductive groups or their twisted analgoues.Contact: GAO Fan(gaofan@zju.edu.cn)
