In the latest episode of Living Proof, Dan Aspel speaks to Professors Mark Blyth and Sasha Korobkin, organisers of the INI Satellite Programme “The mathematics of multiphase flows with applications” (https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/mfa/). In the conversation, Mark and Sasha explain the programme’s research themes and share their insights into the challenges and rewards of organising an INI programme at your home institution - in their case the University of East Anglia in Norwich.
00:00 - Introduction
00:49 - Welcome, overview of the programme, UEA and Norwich as a venue
07:22 - Social aspect of INI programmes
09:20 - Structure of the programme, starting with a summer school
13:02 - Central workshop of the programme: “New directions in multiphase flows” (https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/mfaw02/), connections with industry
16:30 - The challenges of running a satellite programme, without the infrastructure provided in Cambridge
20:50 - Discussing the two-year lead time from proposal to preparation to hosting the month-long programme, the importance of planning far in advance
22:45 - Success of the science during a month-long programme
26:38 - Personal highlights: “I was amazed we made it through the month without any catastrophes”, lecture on beer tapping
29:25 - Final thoughts, looking to the future
