December 25 - 27, 2013
Room 101, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)

Aims and Scope

Electrolytes are solutions of acids, bases or salts containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive. In biology, electrolytes flow in and out of cell membrane and play important roles in physiology and pathology. Understanding these complicated dynamics not only give formidable challenges but also motivations for new mathematical theories and techniques. The main goal of the workshop is to discuss the biological models of PDE, MD simulations and the relation of mathematical results and biological significance.The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers in related areas to share and discuss their current research ideas.
