This study examines how large language models (LLMs) affect language barriers and disparities in publication outcomes and research impact for English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) scholars.

This work investigates both steady and unsteady nonlinear systems that couple the generalized convective Brinkman-Forchheimer model with a system of advection-diffusion equations, commonly referred to as double-diffusion equations.

We analyze the causal type of both Killing vector fields and Killing spinors. As an application we give a proof of Bartnik's stationary vacuum conjecture from 1989 and geometrically characterize Siklos wave spacetimes.

Professor Geoffrey Smith earned his PhD in 1981 at the laboratory of Alan Hay at the National Institute for Medical Research, London, UK (the predecessor of the Francis Crick Institute), focusing on the replication mechanism of influenza virus. Between 1981 and 1984, he conducted postdoctoral research at the laboratory of Bernard Moss at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States.

Global governance was first coined in the early and optimistic days following the end of the Cold War. Capitalizing on an ending to the Cold War no one expected, the international community experienced thoughts of new beginnings and possibilities. Confrontation and fear would now yield to cooperation and optimism.

Prior to this, he held academic positions at Durham University and the University of Manchester, where he earned his PhD in 2016.

Prof. Louwerse worked for almost 20 years in both in the UK and the US, authored over 200 scientific publications in computational and psycholinguistics, virtual reality, embodied cognition, and educational technologies. He holds two patents, and acquired €50M in research funding. Louwerse is a blogger for Psychology Today, and is author of the popular science books “Keeping those words in mind: How language creates meaning” and “Understanding human and artificial minds.”

Minseok Choi received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Seoul National University, South Korea, and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Brown University, USA. After completing his Ph.D., he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Princeton University before joining Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), where he is currently an Associate Professor of Mathematics.

Before joining Ivey, Nanxi received her PhD from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics under the supervision of Professor Bo Jiang. During her PhD, she was a visiting PhD student at Sauder Business School, UBC advised by Professor Chris Ryan. After graduation, she visited Professor Zizhuo Wang at Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen from July 2023 to Dec 2023. Her current research lies in revenue management, data-supported decision making and contract theory.

The human immune system is likely far more complex than that of inbred mice, necessitating fully human experimental systems to test hypotheses about novel immune mechanisms. To this end, we have developed functional human immune organoids from discarded tonsils and spleens.

Given a division ring B and a division ring A such that the left dimension [A : B] = 2, one naturally has a projective line PG(1,B) at one’s disposal. If one considers a (left) vector space V of dimension n over A, a representation of PG(1,B) arises as a spread in PG(2n - 1,B). In this lecture, we study special “twisted” representations in the case n = 2 with remarkable geometric and automorphic properties. (This is joint work with Hendrik Van Maldeghem.)

Professor Lidija Zdravkovic is a Professor of Computational Geomechanics at Imperial College London. She served as Head of the Geotechnics Section from 2014 to 2024, and currently holds the positions of Admissions Tutor for the MSc in Geotechnical Engineering and Co-Director of the Nuclear Engineering Centre at the same institution.

Kumushoy joined Durham University as an Assistant Professor in Finance after completing her PhD at Imperial College London in 2021. Her thesis focused on contagion in complex financial networks and financial stability. Since joining Durham, she has been developing a research agenda that sits at the intersection of market microstructure, systemic risk, financial contagion and the implications of artificial intelligence for financial markets stability.

Valerie joined Durham University as an Assistant Professor in Finance in 2024 after completing her PhD at Goethe University Frankfurt. Her main research interests lie in empirical corporate finance and span a range of topics, including analysts' rating biases, the role of social media in Initial Coin Offerings, trading spillovers of financial misconduct, and the mechanics of decentralised finance (DeFi) and decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs).

Dongwoo Sheen is a Professor Emeritus at SNU and a Distinguished Professor at Xinjiang University. He received BA and MA at SNU in 1981 and 1983, and his PhD under the guidance of Prof. Jim Douglas, Jr. at Purdue University in 1991. Then he went to Pavia, Italy as a CNR postdoctoral fellow under Prof. Franco Brezzi’s guidance. He then went back to Purdue University as a post-doc. Since 1993, he worked for SNU until 2023.

Professor Shan Zha is the James A. Wolff Professor of Pediatrics at Columbia University Medical Center, an elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI), and an internationally renowned scholar in the interdisciplinary field of DNA damage repair and immunology. Her research has long focused on DNA double-strand breaks and genomic instability.

Land ecosystems including forests absorb ~25% of the total carbon dioxide emissions from anthropogenic sources. This sink is predicted to increase under increasing CO2concentration. However, carbon capture in forests is also controlled by nutrient availability including nitrogen and these interactions are poorly understood to support and validate when modelling the role of forests in climate change mitigation.

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and hardware are having a major impact on Computational Science. The traditional paradigm in Scientific Computing (SC), typically based upon mathematical models of the underlying phenomena followed by discrete approximation and a numerical solution, are being complemented and challenged by machine learning (ML) and other AI capabilities.
