Events Detail

Speaker:
Gil Ariel, Bar Ilan University

Prof. Gil Ariel, from the Department of Mathmatics at Bar Ilan University, Israel, studies numerical analysis of multiscale methods, in particular highly oscillatory ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and mathematical biology with emphasis on collective dynamics and swarming.

He will be presenting a talk on "A statistical physics view of swarming bacteria"

Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which cells migrate rapidly over surfaces, forming dynamic patterns of whirls and jets. The talk will presents a physical point of view of swarming bacteria, with an emphasis on the collective and individual statistical properties of the dynamics as observed in experiments. We describe possible biological implications.
