ACCA Student Chapter Meeting
Imperial College London
Wednesday February 17th 2016
The fourth Student Chapter meeting of the Applied and Computational Complex Analysis network took place at Imperial College London on Wednesday, February 17th, 2016. It consisted of presentations by current PhD graduate students and visitors from Japan working generally in the area of ACCA. The aim of these events is to provide an informal forum for the exchange of ideas and to provide feedback. The presentations are not expected to be wholly on completed work; research in progress can also be discussed.
