Professor Arkadi Ponossov
Professor of applied mathematics at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (since 1995). Was the main coordinator of the Mozambican-Norwegian research and educational project “Competence Building in Research, Teaching and Application of Mathematics and Informatics at the Eduardo Mondlane University”, his research interests are: Mathematical biology, stochastic, partial and time-delayed differential equations, functional analysis, hybrid dynamical systems. Professor Arkadi will give a plenary talk on Neural field models with and without microstructure.

Professor Anotida Madzvamuse
Anotida Madzvamuse is an African-British Professor of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia in Canada (since October 2022) and Professor of Mathematical and Computational Biology at the University of Sussex (since September 2006). Madzvamuse is co-founder of the MASAMU program (in 2010) as well as being the Principal Organiser of the recently funded UK-Advanced Postgraduate Study Institute (UK-APASI) in Mathematical Sciences (2020-2022). His research program seeks to unravel mechanisms for 2- and 3-D cell migration through complex non-isotropic environments, pattern formation during growth development, the development of robust, efficient and stable numerical methods for bulk-surface PDEs as well as the development of open-source and commercial algorithms. Professor Madzvamuse will present to a plenary part of his research on Modelling, analysis and simulations of bulk-surface PDEs with applications to experimental sciences.
