ZoomTITLE: Diffuse interface methods for incompressible two-phase flows ABSTRACT: The diffuse interface (or phase field) theory has emerged in the last decades as a versatile approach to describe the interface dynamics in many problems arising from fluid and solid mechanics, image processing, material sciences and biology. Among many, recent applications are Li-ion batteries and tumor

ZoomTitle: An Introduction to Cluster Algebras Abstract: Cluster algebras are commutative algebras with a special combinatorial structure. They were introduced in 2002 by Sergey Fomin and Andrei Zelevinsky in the context of canonical bases in Lie theory and have quickly developed deep connections to other areas of mathematics and physics, including combinatorics, representation theory, hyperbolic geometry, elementary

ZoomTitle: Necessary and sufficient conditions in weighted theory Abstract: Starting with the L^p boundedness of the Hilbert transform by Riesz in 1928 we go through the development of weighted theory. First Muckenhoupt and the necessary and sufficient A_p condition for one weight inequalities, then Sawyer with the testing conditions on two weight inequalities leading up

ZoomTITLE: Recent developments in modeling HIV infection and treatment ABSTRACT: HIV infection is still a serious public health problem in the world. Highly active antiretroviral therapy can suppress viral replication to a very low level but cannot eradicate the virus. Mathematical models, combined with experimental data, have provided important insights into HIV dynamics, immune responses, and drug
Colloquium – Frederic Gibou (University of California at Santa Barbara)
ZoomTitle: Free Boundary Problem: Challenges and Applications Abstract: There exists a wide range of modern and important physical and Biological phenomena that are described as free boundary problems. The difficulty in solving them stems from the fact that the solution depends on a boundary that evolves in time, at which boundary conditions must be imposed

ZoomTITLE: Geometry of curve lengthening membranes. ABSTRACT: In this talk, I’ll present rigorous results of the transient evolution of bilayer interfaces evolving of the mass preserving L^2-gradient flow of the functionalized Cahn-Hilliard equation. The proof is based on energy modulated method, which requires a construction of slow manifold – bilayer manifold, composed of approximated solutions dressed around
