Mathematics in sports covers a wide range of aspects, from the study of dynamical systems (to assess biological response to fatigue, for instance), the mechanics of biological tissues (like in injury studies), game theory (for strategy planing), up to the dynamics of fluids and structures to optimise the performance of sport devices (ski, racing...

In this talk we will describe the derivation of mathematical and numerical models for the simulation of high performance rowing boats. Rowing boats are a complex dynamical system strongly affected by the rowers action and movements. Indeed a rowing boat hardly moves with constant speed, but it is instead subject to a complex system of secondary ...

The goal of this lecture is to inform the audience of the types of challenges that arise, and open problems that remain, in a specific class of biological fluids: mucus. Mucus is prevalent in biology and its rheology is fundamental for: locomotion (e.g., of snails); flow transport (e.g., of mucosal layers in mammalian lungs); and controlling dif...

Each of these three posters contains a piece of digital art exploring the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first poster is titled "The Invisible Enemy" and contains a digital drawing of a bright green cartoon coronavirus molecule with a grinning face, and a lit fuse as though it is a bomb. Text at the bottom of the poster reads: "To beat Co...

Mass transfer plays a critical role controlling the effectiveness of anticancer therapies. The effectiveness of chemotherapeutic molecules is controlled by their clearance, diffusion, uptake and rate of action. Non-intuitively, there is an optimum in efficacy for both diffusion and uptake. This observation has numerous implications for the desig...

Cancer initiation, progression, and treatment can be described as a complex evolutionary process occurring at the level of cells in the body. Mathematical models of this process can yield useful insights into the mechanisms causing cancer and also suggest possible treatment strategies. In this talk, I will introduce some basic mathematical model...

Let $F$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$ equipped with a non trivial absolute value, $E$ a non archimedean locally compact field whose residue field is contained in $F$ and $pi$ a uniformizing parameter of $E$. We associate functorially to these datas a separated integral noetherian regular scheme $X=X_{F,E,pi}$ of dimension $1$ define...
