Asymptotics, PDEs, Industrial Mathematics and Systems Biology-
A celebration of the election of John King to the Royal Society
Date/Time: Wednesday 23rd July, 10.30-5pm
Location: Keighton Auditorium (B60), University Park
About the event
John King, Professor of Theoretical Mechanics at the University of Nottingham, has been elected Fellow of the Royal Society. This is in recognition of his outstanding contributions to novel mathematical methodologies and their application to multiscale problems in the biosciences, engineering, industry, and medicine.
This workshop will bring together speakers from some of his many and varied research areas to celebrate this election. Topics covered will include asymptotic and symmetry methods, free-boundary problems, nonlinear-parabolic systems, and applications to real world problems exemplified by tumour growth, thin-film flows, and bacterial quorum sensing.
We are inviting registered participants to present posters. The best posters will be awarded prizes. Posters should be printed in A1 portrait format and displayed by lunch time at poster boards provided.
