[Soft-matter] Soft Matter and Stat Phys seminar 30 Apr 2021

[Maciej Lisicki]

Dear Soft Matter Colleagues and Friends,

On Friday 30 April 2021 at 9:30 AM we are hosting a seminar during which

Daniel Matoz-Fernandez (FUW)

will give a talk

Growth, form, and active mechanics in biology

Abstract
Despite significant progress in understanding the behavior of active fluids, much less is known about how activity affects the behavior of solid and viscoelastic materials, such as epithelial tissues or bacterial biofilms. In this talk, I will show how activity in the form of growth and chemical signaling can drive the system to develop a wide variety of shapes due to competition with viscous relaxation. The latter is of particular interest in developing a physical understanding of morphogenesis, where the embryo has to undergo a series of carefully orchestrated shape changes to establish the functioning organism. 

The seminar will be conducted on Zoom
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82784273907 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82784273907>
and will begin at 9:30AM.
