Mathematics Provides Insight Into Self-Organization in Active Biosystems

Abstract: In this talk we will consider how mathematical modeling, analysis, and simulation can be used to provide new insight into biological phenomena. In particular, we focus on the self-organization of large-scale groups of insects and swimming bacteria. This talk will show how simple models for active biosystems can address complex ecological problems as well as lead to the development of novel biomaterials. What makes these problems interesting is that individual interactions at the microscale lead to the onset of mesoscale and then macroscale patterns. In addition, when animals exhibit collective behavior one can observe remarkable properties such as enhanced movement speed, pattern formation, and increased mixing. Mathematics provides a deep understanding of how and why these properties emerge and is fundamental to pressing biological problems.

Global Seminar on Mathematical Modeling and Applications

Series comments: Description: Occasional seminar on mathematical modeling and related topics

In light of the worldwide cancellations of meetings workshops and conferences many of us are forced to switch to online mode of communication. Thus following the example of many other initiatives we decided to organize a Global Seminar on Mathematical Modeling and Applications.

Zoom links will appear on the seminar website 15 minutes before talks begin so that we may convene a little earlier, get acquainted and/or catch-up.

Additionally here you can subscribe to the mailing list.
