Environmental & Biological

Fluid Dynamics @ UPenn

We are delighted to announce that our “Environmental and Biological Fluid Dynamics” working group application has been funded by the SAS and SEAS and several university departments. Many many thanks to you all for making this possible!

As of now, our group consists of ~100 members from ~30 research groups from ~10 departments across 3 schools at Penn, as well as guest members from Drexel, Haverford and Rutgers.

In the coming years, we will be organizing a series of lunch meetings with talks from our trainees, faculty members, and invited speakers. They can be research talks, or “tutorials” to describe techniques that will be valuable to our students across the many disciplines that we work in. If you would like to present something, or if you would like to suggest an invited speaker, please let us know!

Warmly, Arnold Mathijssen, Hugo Ulloa, Paulo Arratia, and Doug Jerolmack

• We especially encourage junior people to present their work in a friendly environment.
• Student talks are typically 25 minutes + 5 minutes Q&A.
• Postdocs and faculty can sign up for a double slot of 50+10 minutes.
• Besides research talks, we welcome tutorial talks to teach people your experimental or computational methods.
• Faculty members are encouraged to give chalk/vision talks without prepared slides.
• The main goal is to foster new friendships and collaborations across the different departments at Penn.
• … and there will be free lunches as usual 🙂

Thank you for supporting Environmental and Biological Fluid Dynamics!
