Today started with the second half of the TEMC (Theoretical and Experimental Material Computing) workshop that I was running. This comprised a variety of tutorials on various aspects of Material Computing.
After coffee, Christine Heitsch gave a keynote on the use of combinatoric methods to analyse RNA secondary structures. The aim is for the mathematical analysis to provide biological insights, and for the biological problems to be a spur for developing new mathematics. A win-win collaboration.
After lunch was the inaugural Rozenberg award lecture. The first winner was Jaarko Kari, and he gave us a lovely tour of his work on cellular automata in terms of multidimensional symbolic dynamics.
The final session of this penultimate day was a session of contributed presentations, covering DNA tiling, memristive neural networks, and a card-based security protocol.
