Nonequilibrium to Induce and Maintain Spatio-Temporal Patterns

The GRC on Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems will provide a forum for discussion of frontier research in recent breakthroughs in nonlinear dynamics of chemical and biological systems. Chemical reactions under far-from-equilibrium conditions can generate multi-stability, oscillations, and spatial patterns induced by diffusion and other means of mass transport. The Conference will focus on the development of theoretical and experimental approaches to the identification and the control of novel self-organized structures. The topics include emerging applications in surface science, electrochemistry, encapsulated media, chemical engineering, transport phenomena, synthetic biology, and brain science.
The Conference will feature a diverse group of leading researchers who emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to the description of emergent collective behavior in dissipative systems; contributed talks on late-breaking topics will be selected from the poster abstracts. The collegial atmosphere of the Conference will offer ample opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, provide avenues for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm and promote collaborations. The GRC will be immediately preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar which will provide early career researchers with an excellent opportunity to discuss their work and network with peers.

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)". Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
