Today I managed to submit a revised version a paper after six months!
I am writing from Genoa, Italy. I came here two present two papers ICNPAA 2008 conference (Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Aerospace and Sciences, Wednesday June 25- Friday June 27). The slides of my two presenttions can be downloaded from here and here . Genoa is positively warm, Mediterranean, and beautiful. The conference was good and I met few good researchers here. I am staying in Rex Hotel and will go back home tomorrow. I hope my Ryanair flight would be smooth.
I went to Cambridge again this week from Monday (16/06/08) to Wednesday (18/06/08). My Cambridge email id is working now ( sa225@cam.ac.uk ) . Our collaborative work has advanced and I got something to work on during the summer. The driving to Cambridge was eventful as the front left tyre of my car busted in the motorway M4 just before Bristol. I had to change three tyres in Cambridge. I also went to house of an old friend for a dinner.
I was in Cambridge from Monday (09/06/08) to Wednesday (11/06/08) as a part of my official visitor appointment at the Engineering Department till the end of 2008. I went to Cambridge after a long time (last time I was in Cambridge was in January 2005). It was nice to go back and meet few old friends. I am also a visiting Fellow in a Cambridge college. The support and resources provided by the college is absolutely crucial, especially as a visitor. The collaborations look promising and I hope we can do some good research work during my visit.
I was in the Manchester Business School (MBS) for a business meeting. Went yesterday (03/06/08) by train and came back today (04/06/08). Revised the web-pages in the train. Publications and research pages are finally up-to-date. Abstract pages now have BibTeX entries for easy citation in LaTeX (manually edited more than 100 .html files!).
I went to Bristol on Monday (2nd June 08) for a meeting at the University. It was an useful meeting. I also met few old friends and had an wonderful lunch at the Hawthorns with some old colleagues.
I have finished a major upgrade of my web site over the weekend. It no longer uses frames now. All pages have been revised .
