Multi-physics geometric PDE's using deformable surfaces : analysis,modelling,numerics & applications

A conference to be held by the Department of Mathematics, University of Sussex, 04-06 November 2015.

Abstract:

Mathematical models of geometric PDEs using deformable surfaces arise in an abundance of applications, for example in biophysics, chemistry, engineering, material science and plant biology. Due to the recent development of new ideas and methods in the field of moving free boundaries many important and challenging open problems have emerged. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together researchers from the distinct mathematical fields of modelling, numerical analysis and computation to discuss the challenges that result from such applications.

This workshop is a satellite meeting of the Newton Institute Programme 'Coupling Geometric PDEs with Physics for Cell Morphology, Motility and Pattern Formation'

The conference will be held in the conference centre on the third floor in Bramber House Building (no. 12 on campus map).
