Brain Waves

2009-06-23

On June 23 2009 I gave a talk on «Unstable attractors in pulse coupled oscillator networks» in the workshop Brain Waves. The workshop is organized in the Lorentz Center by Stan Gielen, Stephan van Gils, Michel van Putten, and David Terman.

Monodromy and geometric phases in classical and quantum mechanics

2009-06-22

The workshop on Monodromy and geometric phases in classical and quantum mechanics took place June 15-19 2009 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden.

I enjoyed preparing the workshop and bringing together people from different fields. The talks were great and I would like to thank the speakers for making this workshop a success. My coorganizers Jonathan Robbins, Dmitrií Sadovskií, and Holger Waalkens shared the weight. And I would like to thank also Martje Kruk and Gerda Filippo from the Lorentz Center for taking care of all the practical aspects of the workshop. Without their assistance I would have gone crazy.

Finally, I should mention that the workshop would not have been possible without the generous funding provided by the Lorentz Center, KNAW, the NDNS+ cluster, NWO, and the GQT cluster.
