Workshop on "Morphogenesis and morphing 200 years after Gauss”
Organizers
Abstract
This joint initiative of Centro De Giorgi, Scuola Normale Superiore, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (Pisa), Università di Pisa and SISSA (Trieste) aims to revisit the two centuries of research in mathematics, mechanics, engineering and biophysics on the concepts of shape control and strength by shape in biology and engineering. In addition, we hope to brainstorm on the role of geometry in important problems, from mathematical physics to artificial intelligence, 200 years after the fundamental contributions to the geometry of surfaces given by Gauss, with special focus on recent developments and open problems.
