EVENT OVERVIEW
The one-day workshop will be held on April 12, 2025 at Storrs, UConn. Over the past two decades, significant progress and important breakthroughs have been achieved in several branches of nonlinear PDEs. An important development is that techniques developed in one area have played crucial roles in other areas. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers working in PDE and Applied Math in the northeast region. The talks focus on recent development in two areas: fluid dynamics and calculation of variations from materials science. The invited speakers feature women researchers at various stages of their career and will lead to many research connections and collaborations among senior and junior researchers. In particular, the career path of the invited speakers will inspire younger generations from underrepresented groups to pursue a career in stem fields. All participants are welcome. Special attention will be paid to advertise and recruit participants from underrepresented groups.

IMPORTANT! Please note April 12 is UConn bound day, there are a few street parking spots next to the math building on Whitney Road and a small parking lot across the street on Mansfield Road next to the lake. Other parking lots can be found on Bishop circle (turn left at traffic light on 195, turn right is Mansfield Rd). once can also use South garage on campus or the garage in downtown storrs for paid parking.
The workshop is sponsored by MSRC at Department of Mathematics, UConn.
