His contributions are very important in non-linear analysis and applications to partial differential equations. More precisely, he is interrested in one of the following topics : non-linear semi-groups, non-linear parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations with L1 or measure data, global existence for reaction-diffusion systems, shape optimization problem, in particular regularity of optimal shapes, control of PDE. The talks of the meeting will be given by the following invited lectures : Wolfgang Arendt (Universitat Ulm, Allemagne), Pascal Auscher (Universite de Paris 11, France), Giuseppe Buttazzo (Universita di Pisa, Italie), Michael Crandall (University of California, USA), Michel Crouzeix (Universite de Rennes 1, France), Arnaud Debussche (ENS Cachan, France), Emmanuele DiBenedetto (Vanderbilt University, USA), William Fitzgibbon (University of Houston, USA), Thierry Gallouet (Universite de Provence, France), Ronald Gariepy (University of Kentucky, USA), Michel Langlais (Universite de Bordeaux 2, France), Alain Haraux (Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France), Peter Laurence (Universita di Roma, Italie), Robert Martin (North Carolina State University, USA), Wolfgang Ruess (Universitat Essen, Allemagne), Juan Luis Vazquez (Universite de Madrid, Espagne).

While positions are open to all areas of mathematical medicine and biology, preference will be given to those individuals with research interests in the current principal areas of CMM focus: mathematical oncology, computational neuroscience, and biomechanics of soft tissues or bioinformatics. In particular, we are looking for individuals interested in collaborative interaction with clinicians and experimentalists. The fellowships provide for a period of engagement in research and participation in the activities of the Centre. They may be offered in conjunction with partner universities. List on the cover sheet of the application if there are any faculty members at universities affiliated with the Fields Institute who you believe are appropriate. To guarantee consideration postdoctoral applications should be received by June 1, 2009. (NOTE late applications will be accepted until the positions are filled). Applicants must apply through https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/Fields/1632 Eligibility: Qualified candidates who will have a recent PhD in any of these areas, or a related area of the mathematical sciences are encouraged to apply. The Fields Institute is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. ------ Subject: New: Journal of Geometric Mechanics From: aims Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:29:51 -0500 Journal of Geometric Mechanics is debuting.
