DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Malcolm Hillebrand\n\nTitle: Active Turbulence: When 
 biology causes chaos\, and using the\nPower of the GPU (TM) to tackle it\n
 \nAbstract: Turbulence is a familiar problem to many\, both in scientific\
 nresearch and in trying to cross a windy bridge. However\, in the last\ntw
 o decades\, a series of surprising discoveries have uncovered a new\nkind 
 of turbulence that does not require pumping wind or rapid pipe\nflow: Acti
 ve turbulence. First observed in swarming bacteria\, this\nphenomenon desc
 ribes the chaotic flows seen at extremely small scales\n(near zero Reynold
 s number or flow speeds). As more biological and\nartificial systems are s
 hown to exhibit active turbulence\, the\ninterest in theoretical and compu
 tational modelling has grown\ncommensurately. Here I will present a minima
 l model of active\nturbulence that reproduces flow patterns seen in kinesi
 n-microtubule\nsuspensions (which resemble the surface of a cell)\, and di
 scuss the\ntransition to turbulence in this model and the computational as
 pects\nthat go into this -- data analysis and visualisation\, and CUDA\nim
 plementation of an implicit PDE solving scheme for accurate\nlong-time sim
 ulations. The physics and maths will be largely fun and\ninformal\, with a
  bit more detail on the computing side.\n\nBiography: Malcolm is a lecture
 r in the Department of Mathematics and\nApplied Mathematics at UCT. He com
 pleted his PhD in computational and\ntheoretical nonlinear dynamics applie
 d to polyatomic systems at UCT in\n2020. He went on to do a joint postdoc 
 with the Maths Department and\nthe Scientific Computing Research Unit at U
 CT in dynamics of chemical\nreactions\, followed by two years at the Max P
 lanck Institute for the\nPhysics of Complex Systems and the Center for Sys
 tems Biology Dresden\,\nworking on active turbulence and the interface of 
 nonlinear dynamics\nand biophysics. More research details can be found at
