Speaking Victor Roytburd Harbir Lamba Lia Bronsard Jianhong Wu Andre Longtin Natalia Mary Pugh Mattheiu Blanchette Invited: Michel Fortin Horacio Rotstein Some suggestions: Paul: Andre Longtin - Physics Univ Ottawa Eric Matsui - Mathematics Univ Ottawa Andre Longtin did his PhD with Michael Mackey. he does some stuff with delay and noise with neuro applications. Eric Matsui did his PhD with Debra Lewis. He used to do stuff with symmetries in Hamiltonian systems. Now he is doing something to do with spiral waves. 1. Stephane Dellacherie (dellache@crm.umontreal.ca) This guy is a post-doc of Anne Bourlioux's (i think you've met him). I am really interested in what he does. 2. Mathieu Blanchette (blanchem@mcb.mcgill.ca) A new bioinformatics hire here. I think he could give an interesting applied probability talk. Martin a very well known person to invite for an applied math seminar would be Michel Fortin from Laval (the one that wrote the famous book). I have talked to him last week and he might be able to come in April, although it is not sure. I think it would be worthwhile giving it a try. Nilima: distant: 1. Walter Craig, McMaster, applied analysis/integrable PDE 2. Dominik Schoetzau, UBC, discontinuous finite elements 3. Huaxiong Huang, York, industrial and applied math modelling 4. Fadil Santosa, U. Minnesota, (sort of the brains behind their industrial mathematics program). 5. Jan Hesthaven, Brown, Spectral methods for CFD 6. Toby Driscoll, U. Delaware, spectral methods local: 1. Jeremy Cooperstock, image processing, EE 2. Luc DeVroye, probabalist, CS 3. Prakash Panangaden, probabalist, CS 4. Mathieu Blanchette, Bioinformatics, MCB 5. Mark Sutton/Martin Grant, math physics, Physics Dominik expressed interest in heading out around the time that Hairer is in town. Apart from that, no particular ordering! Walter is an interesting figure in applied analysis in Canada Anne Bourlioux 1. Lia Bronsard McMaster bronsard@mcmaster.ca she comes to Montreal often and wants to give a seminar (although it is not clear that Mondays are good for her in general) superconductors etc 2. Victor Roytburd RPI roytbv@rpi.edu phase transitions etc. other people in order of preference 3. Agnes Tourin McMaster tourin@math.mcmaster.ca 4. Mary Pugh mpugh@math.utoronto.ca
