Title: Data-Driven Modeling of Living Fluids

Speaker: M. Gregory Forest
Grant Dahlstrom Distinguished Professor
Departments of Mathematics & Biomedical Engineering
Director, Carolina Center for Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Abstract: I will talk about mathematical modeling of three fluid systems:  living yeast cells, living mammalian cells, and mucus.  In each fluid system, we collaborate with experimentalists and let their data and their biological or medical questions drive our mathematical modeling effort.  My collaborators at all levels will be acknowledged during the lecture.
