Invited Speakers

Dimple Chalishajar has been working in the field of "Mathematical Control Theory and Applications" for the last 20 years. He did his Ph.D. from one of India's leading research institutions in 2005 and the post-doctoral work at Virginia Tech, USA in 2008. He has 60 international peer-reviewed journal publications with one monograph. He has delivered 65 lectures at international conferences including 10 invited talks. He has been serving as an editorial board member of 10 peer-reviewed journals and as a reviewer in 20 journals. Two students pursued their Ph.D. under his supervision, five independent research students, and one student for the honor thesis at the graduate level. He has a teaching experience of almost 25 years and taught several pure and applied mathematics courses with statistics.

Speech Title: "Exact Controllability of Third-Order Nonlinear Dispersion (KdV) System"

Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the exact controllability of a third-order dispersion system using monotone operator theory and a fixed point approach. The existence and the uniqueness of the problem will be discussed in three different ways. Then we will discuss the controllability of the KdV equation by using monotone operator theory. We will weaken the "Lipschits continuity" by the method of "Integral Contractor" and prove the controllability result. Examples will be provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

Sergey Bocharov has recently joined the Mathematics Department of Xian Jiatong-Liverpool University as an Assistant Professor. Prior to that he has worked for seven years as an Associate Researcher (special terms Associate Professor) at the Mathematics Department of Zhejiang University, China, where he taught a number of graduate and undergraduate courses and served as a supervisor for Masters’ students. His main area of expertise is in Probability Theory including topics like Levy processes, local times, martingales, etc. His research is mostly centred around studying spatial branching processes. A typical such process consists of particles moving randomly in space according to the law of some stochastic process (such as a Brownian motion) and reproducing at a spatially-dependent rate. It is then of interest to study things like spatial spread, population growth and genealogies of particles in the limit as time goes to infinity in such models.
