Student flash talks via Zoom https://us04web.zoom.us/j/73262981794?pwd=UkVwUTNEMDFJOTd5aVVML3NYOWZxQT09 (meeting ID: 732 6298 1794, password: statsoft)
The seminar will feature student flash talks from:
Jacek Gębala "Polymer-polymer miscibility"
I will shortly discuss the thermodynamics of polymer-polymer and polymer-solvent systems. Then, I will procede to describe the dependence of viscosity of such solutions on the concentration of elements. I will also introduce the Huggins equation. Finally, I will mention the experimental technique (viscometry) used to determine the polymer-polymer miscibility.
Stanisław Żukowski "Spatial Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma"
Prisoner's Dillema is a well known game, in which two individuals may cooperate or defect in order to gain points (or years in prison). In iterated case we let individuals play with each other many times, which enables them to invent different tactics based on previous moves. Putting them on a grid, letting play with nearest neighbours and stealing best tactic from neighbourhood let us study stability of different tactics in spatial case.
Michał Zmyślony "Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Wright brothers plane"
The presentation will start with a short introduction into the concept of the LCE and give an explanation how they work. Then I will talk about the experimental results and how they are created in the lab and their possible applications. I will try to give an overview of some of the more interesting examples created in the recent years.
Tomasz Necio "Random matrix theory"
In this talk I will present random matrix theory. I will describe its application in explaining the distribution of atomic energy levels. I will also talk about Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture, which relates random matrices with chaotic systems in the quantum limit.
Bartosz Greń “Handcuff topology in proteins and phantom polymers”
