Topic: Reaction-diffusion equations and their modelling applications

Abstract: Reaction-diffusion equations are used to model a vast range of problems in industry, science and engineering. They exhibit a range of complex behaviour, including travelling waves and self-organization. In this presentation, I will discuss the use of reaction-diffusion equations in two problems, which are dye-sensitized solar cells and chemical and biological clogging of granular assembly when treating acidic groundwater.

Additionally, I will talk about some modelling problems from the Mathematics in Industry Study Group (MISG) workshops, which were held at the University of Newcastle from 2020 to 2022.

Structure: 45 minutes seminar with 15 minutes question time
