Inaugural Lecture: Professor Adrian J Barker, School of Mathematics

Join us for our next Inaugural Lecture on Wednesday 8 May as we welcome Professor Adrian J Barker, Professor of Applied Mathematics at the School of Mathematics.

About this lecture

In his lecture titled “Tidal flows in extrasolar planets and stars”, Professor Barker will discuss extrasolar planets, which can orbit their stars so closely that gravitational tidal interactions can affect their orbits and rotations, potentially leading to planetary destruction.

Venue and Agenda

The lecture will take place in the Esther Simpson Building at the University of Leeds, with arrival and registration from 3.45pm in the café, and the lecture commencing at 4pm in Lecture Theatre 1.01. This will be followed by a drinks reception in the Esther Simpson café from 5pm.
