Self-organization in physical systems:
Rhythms, patterns and chaos

Next seminar: Wednesday, 01/19/11

Topic:

Self-organization deals with the spontaneous formation of order from unstructured states. It is a highly interdisciplinary topic studied in the framework of nonlinear dynamics. There are overlaps between physics and other sciences like chemistry, biology or materials science. The development of rhythms, patterns or chaos in the different fields can be described by a unified mathematical approach.

Talk subjects:

* Modelling Firing Nerve Cells
* Turing Patterns
* Self Organized Criticality
* Oszillationen in elektrochemischen Systemen
* Oscillations and pattern formation during the electrochemical oxidation of silicon
* Pattern Formation in Dryland Vegetation
