Workshop on Mathematical Models for Pattern Formation

Workshop on Mathematical Models For Pattern Formation

Center for Nonlinear Analysis
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
March 8-10, 2019

Challenges from the physical sciences and engineering are driving the development of new techniques in the calculus of variations, nonlinear partial differential equations, and scientific computing. Conversely, techniques from these areas are having a fundamental impact on our understanding of these problems. Pattern formation is an important emerging theme in a number of scientific and engineering contexts. Within this general area, topics addressed in this workshop will include crystallization, copolymers, materials defects, the onset of microstructure, and wrinkling.

Speakers include:

• Basile Audoly, CNRS and Ecole Polytechnique, France

• Peter Bella, Leipzig University, Germany

• Irene Beyerlein, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA

• Rustum Choksi, McGill University, Canada

• Qiang Du, Columbia University, USA
