The First Hamilton Workshop on HIV: Mathematics, biology and beyond, hosted by the Hamilton Institute, aims to provide a forum for researchers working in the area of HIV/AIDS in the greater Dublin area (and beyond). The list of topics ranges from mathematics to microbiology and ethnography, from theory to experiments and field studies. We have scheduled talks and breaks to allow for having a chance to meet, discuss, and gain new research contacts/collaborators in the area of HIV/AIDS.

For further information, see workshop homepage.

Venue: JH1, John Hume Building, North Campus, NUI Maynooth

Topics:

Theory of nonnegative matrices and applications in biology, computer science, communication networks, stability theory and related fields. The aim of the workshop is to give an overview of the recent advances in the theory and applications of nonnegative matrices and operators, including but not limited to the areas of biology, computer science, communication networks, and stability theory. The range of topics covered will be broad, and the workshop should be of interest to anyone working on either the theory or the applications of nonnegative matrices.
