Characterising Optimisation Landscapes via Trees and Networks
Time: 13:30, 10 July 2025 We often conceptualise the optimisation function as being on the continuous 1D line. Here, the bottom of “dip”s local are local minima, and the “peak”s are saddle-points between them. We can see the landscape of the underlying function clearly and it is easy to see its structure and features. In two…

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers for Reversible Actuation and Energy Dissipation
Time: 14:00-16:00, 18th June 2025 Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are a versatile class of functional materials exhibitingexceptional properties, including large-stroke reversible actuation, anomalous mechanicaland vibration energy damping, and reversible pressure-sensitive adhesion. A defining featureof LCEs is their soft elasticity, characterised by a plateau of low, nearly constant stress during stretching, slow stress relaxation, and enhanced surface…
