Lindsay Morcom (Queens University, Canada) discusses collective grassroots language revitalization efforts in an urban Indigenous community 

We will give an introduction to constructive analysis following Errett Bishops book "Foundations of Constructive Analysis". We start by covering elementary real analysis, and the aim is to cover Chapter 5 on Complex Analysis. 

Speaker: Erlend F. Wold 

Lecture I: Introduction, and start on Chapter 2 in Bishop. 

A talk by Jae-Hoon Shim, professor in the Department of History at Dankook University, South Korea.

Professor Ivan C. Christov is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics (by courtesy) at Purdue University. He leads research at the intersection of applied mathematics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics, with particular interests in soft hydraulics, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, multiphase and particulate flows, nonlinear waves, and computational and data-enabled science and engineering.

His research combines mathematical modeling, theoretical analysis, computation, and experiments to investigate complex fluid–structure interactions and transport phenomena, with applications spanning biomedical engineering, advanced materials, and micro- and nanotechnology.

Professor Christov received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 2011, following degrees from Northwestern University, Texas A&M University, and MIT. His honors include the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award, the NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, and the Richard P. Feynman Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Department seminar. Edward Jee is a PhD candidate in the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics at the University of Chicago. He will present the paper "More Traps and Transfers."

Karen Mulleners is an associate professor in the institute of mechanical engineering in the school of engineering at EPFL. She is the head of the unsteady flow diagnostics laboratory (UNFoLD). She is an experimental fluid dynamicist who focuses on unfolding the origin and development of unsteady flow separation and vortex formation. Karen studied physics in Belgium (Hasselt University, previously Limburgs Universitair Centrum) and the Netherlands (TU Eindhoven). She received her PhD in mechanical engineering from the Leibniz Universität Hannover in Germany in 2010 for her work on dynamic stall on pitching airfoils that she conducted as a member of the German aerospace centre (DLR) in Göttingen. Before joining EPFL in 2016, Karen was a (non-tenure track) assistant professor at the Leibniz Universität Hannover in Germany.

Cassandra Durr is a PhD candidate at the STOR-i Centre for Doctoral Training at Lancaster University, UK. Her research focuses on non-linear system identification through equation discovery of physical systems, with an emphasis on epidemic modelling. Cassandra holds a bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Sciences and postgraduate degrees in Mathematical Statistics, and Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence.

Jonathan C. Tan, Professor, SEE, Chalmers University; Research Professor, Dept. of Astronomy, Univ. of Virginia.

Professor Anke Lindner is internationally recognized for her pioneering work on the physics of complex fluids, suspensions, active matter, and fluid–structure interactions. Her research combines innovative microfluidic experiments, microfabrication techniques, and particle-tracking methods to uncover how microscopic dynamics govern the macroscopic behavior of flowing materials. Her work has advanced our understanding of phenomena ranging from non-Newtonian fluids and rheology to bacterial suspensions, flexible fibers in flow, and active fluids.

After studying physics in Germany, she earned her PhD from the École Normale Supérieure in 2000, focusing on interfacial instabilities in complex fluids. She subsequently held positions at ESPCI Paris and Université Pierre et Marie Curie, before becoming Professor at Université Paris Cité.

Her achievements have been recognized with numerous distinctions, including an ERC Consolidator Grant, the Maurice Couette Prize of the French Society of Rheology, election as a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and the prestigious CNRS Silver Medal. More recently, she was elected a Fellow of the Society of Rheology and serves as President of the European Society of Rheology.
