DLA and related models, part II
Abstract
This will be a continuation of the talk from last week (9 May).
About the role
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and well-organised administrator to join us in the new role of Senior Research Group Assistant on a permanent, full-time basis. Although this post is based at the Mathematical Institute, the department will consider applications to work remotely during part of your week.
We are delighted to announce our first Maryam Mirzakhani Scholar. Marta Bucca (pictured) will join Oxford Mathematics in October as a postgraduate student in the Mathematical Physics Group, to carry out research on String Theory under the supervision of Professor Mark Mezei.

A world from a sheet of paper - Tadashi Tokieda
Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, sometimes tearing, Tadashi will explore a diversity of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry through elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami to medical devices and an ‘h-principle’. Much of the show consists of table-top demonstrations, which you can try later with friends and family.
So, take a sheet of paper. . .
Tadashi Tokieda is a professor of mathematics at Stanford. He grew up as a painter in Japan, became a classical philologist (not to be confused with philosopher) in France and, having earned a PhD in pure mathematics from Princeton, has been an applied mathematician in England and the US; all in all, he has lived in eight countries so far. Tadashi is very active in mathematical outreach, notably with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences. You'll find him on Numberphile's YouTube channel.
