• International Workshop  (Nov 29, 2023 – Dec 01, 2023)

  This interdisciplinary workshop brings together experts from (numerical) analysis, scientific computing, biology, and material science. It will focus on the coupling between surface geometry and PDEs, featuring discussions on specific problems in fluid dynamics, materials science, mechanics, and biophysics. Through collaborative exchanges, we aim to advance the development of predictive simulations and reliable numerical methods for vector- and tensor-valued surface PDEs. Read More

• Mathematics of Thin Structures  (Sep 26, 2018 – Sep 28, 2018)

  Many models in mechanics, physics and biology invoke thin structures and physical processes therein. With this workshop we intend to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on the modeling, mathematical analysis and numerics of such models. In particular, topics of interest include variational models for thin films (e.g. featuring wrinkling, prestrain and microstructure) and vector- and tensor-valued partial differential equations on surface (e.g. models for surface liquid crysta...
