Dear colleagues,
We are organizing a CISM Summer School on “Life in flows”, July 6-10 2020, in Udine (Italy). The application deadline is May 6. Practical information can be found on CISM website:
https://www.cism.it/en/activities/courses/C2009/
This school will address how organisms sense surrounding flows and how they respond to this sensing information. It will cover all scales, from bacteria to starling flocks. There will be 6 series of blackboard lectures covering both basics and recent advancements in the field. The lecturers are:- Howard Berg (Harvard): Life at low Reynolds number- Christophe Eloy (IRPHE): Search algorithms to track the source of an odor in a flow- Charlotte Hemelrijk (Univ Groningen): Collective motion in groups of fish and birds – Thomas Kiørboe (DTU): Plankton encounter rates- James Liao (Univ Florida): Principles of fish locomotion- Jane Wang (Cornell): Aerodynamics of insect flapping flight
We would be grateful if you could advertise this announcement around you, in particular to students, post-docs, and young researchers.
Best regards,
The Organizers:
Christophe Eloy, IRPHE, Marseille, France
Eric Lauga, DAMTP, Cambridge, UK
