Event description:
The insides of cells are geometrically complex, heterogeneous, and dynamic. Flows inside of cells can reflect the motion of internal structures, and so can be signatures of how forces transduce to motion, or can be an intrinsic part of a self-organizing process involving other moving parts like biopolymers and molecular motors. I’ll show examples of each, discuss the mathematical models that we’ve developed to describe them, and outline the numerical methods we use to simulate them.
