Despite the simplicity of this definition, the theoretical properties of networks are extremely rich and diversified. Most notably, networks turn out to be extremely flexible in modeling a wide variety of phenomena characterized by a large number of interconnected elementary units: social networks, the Internet and the WWW, sensor networks, ecological communities, biochemical systems, energy transportation networks, economic and financial networks, are just but a few examples. The course is part of the teaching activities organized by the PhD Program in Information Technology at Politecnico di Milano, yet it is not only addressed to PhD students, but to all researchers working in any areas of science and engineering and interested in the theory and applications of complex networks. The aim is to illustrate the fundamental theoretical notions as well as a number of applications in specific fields. The basic definitions, a few useful indicators, and the most important network models are first introduced ("structure"). Then, dynamical systems interacting through the network will be considered, to illustrate how phenomena such as epidemic/information diffusion or large-scale consensus and synchronization can be dealt with ("dynamics").

This proposal is to initiate development of a software tool for predicting noise and vibration levels in built-up structures (examples include cars, ships and aircraft), where uncertainties in the manufacturing process and the sheer scales involved render standard techniques unviable. The work will be driven by problems in industry and underpinned by rigorous mathematical foundations drawing from numerical analysis, dynamical systems and operator theory. The project will be in collaboration with the University of Nottingham and industrial partners inuTech GmbH in Nuremberg, and Jaguar Land Rover. Visits to both industrial partners will be expected during the project. Candidates should hold a first class UK honours degree (or equivalent) in mathematics, engineering or a related discipline. Alternatively, an upper second class UK honours with a masters in an appropriate subject area. Experience of mathematical programming using Matlab is desirable. Funding is for 3 years and will pay UK/EU fees and provide a maintenance stipend linked to RCUK rate (currently GBP13, 590 per annum) for up to 3 years. Additional funding to work at inuTech for 6 months may also become available.

Pavliotis (g.pavliotis@imperial.ac.uk); co-Supervisor: Dr C.J. Cotter (colin.cotter@imperial.ac.uk) Funded by the Grantham Institute for Climate Change. The goal of this project is to develop a toolkit of systematic statistical methods for diagnosing dynamical behaviours (such as bistability) from climate proxy data, and quantifying our uncertainty in this diagnosis. Kwasniok and Lohmann (2009) proposed a one dimensional model for this data, consisting of stochastically forced motion in a double well potential, and attempted to estimate the parameters describing the shape of the well from the data using an unscented Kalman filter. Their parameters indicated that the lower ?18O state was much more stable than the upper state. However, they did not attempt to estimate confidence intervals for their parameters, nor did they test the hypothesis that the model predicts the data well; a preliminary study using more rigorous methods suggests that the errors are too large to make any statements about metastability with this length of data. In this project, we will utilise the wealth of analytical, computational and statistical techniques have been developed in recent years for the study of complex multiscale dynamical systems. These techniques enable us to obtain low dimensional effective dynamics that capture accurately the evolution of a few appropriately selected variables (slow variables, resolved degrees of freedom) at the length and time scales of interest. Such adiabatic elimination and coarse-graining methodologies can be made rigorous under the assumption of scale separation. One important development in recent years is the systematic use of data in the derivation and validation of the effective dynamics (data-driven coarse graining). The goal of the PhD studentship is the systematic use of analytical, statistical and computational techniques for deriving low-dimensional stochastic climate models in a data-driven framework. In particular main objective will be the following: given noisy data from the original dynamics (projected onto the slow variables), estimate parameters (or even the functional form) in the effective dynamics. A first step in this direction was taken in Pavliotis and Stuart (2007), with applications to oceanic transport in Cotter and Pavliotis (2009). In this work, one of the key issues has been the issue of model misspecification: the effective stochastic model is only valid on long timescales and so the data must be subsampled appropriately. In this project, we will take this toolkit and apply it to a number of climate proxy datasets, concentrating on using parameter estimation to detect bistable/metastable states and stochastic resonances. These phenomena result in nonlinear threshold behaviour which are often discussed in the context of the impacts and costs of climate change. We will employ bootstrapping methods to test hypotheses about relationship between the model and the data, and to quantify uncertainty about statements about the model. We will investigate hierarchies of models and quantify the amount of data that is required to make statements at different heirarchical levels. The result will be a defendable quantification of what can be inferred about climate behaviour from a given dataset, which will provide a useful guide for climate policymakers; we will emphasise the communication of these results in the project. Up to 10 Grantham-funded studentships will be available from October 2013, for new students. Studentships cover home/EU fees and bursary for three years and are open to UK and EU candidates, as well as overseas candidates who would be able to pay the difference between home and overseas fees.
