ABSTRACT

The emergence of collective dynamics is a fascinating phenomenon which arises in different context of biological systems. Many such systems are modeled by transport equations such as Keller-Segel-based models for chemotactic phenomenon and Cucker-Smale model for flocking. Due to the complexity of these phenomena, transport equations might contain new mathematical difficulties (e.g non-conservative system, non-hypberbolic PDE) with many open questions for both numerical and analytical studies. Moreover, many of these biological systems are multiscale phenomenon (e.g. from individual cells to functional organs) leading to both microscopic and macroscopic descriptions. Kinetic equations play a key role in linking these scales.

GOALS

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers with diverse expertise on collective dynamics in biological systems, from experimental biologists to applied mathematicians. Our goal is to stimulate interdisciplinary discussions on new developments, with a particular focus on comparing models, experimental data and numerical studies. A second line of discussions focuses on the new mathematical challenges raised by these models, e.g. link between micro and macro descriptions, complex traffic optimization and pattern formation.
