Speaker: Dr. Maria-Carme Calderer, University of Minnesota

Title: “Liquid crystals and electromagnetic fields: solitons in flexoelectric media”

Abstract: We present new mathematical results on flow phenomena in liquid crystals, highlighting the electrostatic interaction in flexoelectric media (that is, with the ability to generate polarization by changes of molecular alignment).

This seminar will be held in person and virtually via Zoom.
