Animating Matter: Reaction–Diffusion Motion Patterns from Molecular Motors to Cilia and Robots - Hermes Bloomfield-Gadelha School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology and Bristol Robotics Laboratory, Bristol, UK Abstract: In this talk, Polymaths Lab (https://www.polymaths-lab.com), Bristol, follows the journey from molecular machines to robotic systems that move, sense, and think through matter itself. We explore how...

Prof Lisa Fauci, Tulane University Talk title: Long, flexible, and actuated: Flagella Moving Through Heterogeneous Fluid Environments Abstract: In microscopic biological systems, rarely does an undulating flagellum beat freely, but may move through passive elastic structures such as mucosal strands or narrow ducts in the female reproductive tract. In this talk, we will focus on...

Speaker: Dr Alison Stirling Title: Modelling atmospheric convection for meteorological prediction Abstract: Atmospheric convection responds locally to instability, but it also transfers heat upscale such that conditions on the planetary-scale depend, organise, and interact with it. It is the simultaneous need to represent the small length-scales of the buoyant transport, with its reach to global...
