Talk title: Biosoft simulations across scales: deep-sea sponges, micro fluidic crystals, and ion transport in neuro-receptors

Talk abstract: We present recent applications of the lattice Boltzmann method to the simulation of a variety of bio-soft systems across scales, ranging from deep-sea glassy sponges, to micro fluidic crystals and dense multicore emulsions, all the way down to ion transport in the NMDA neuro-receptor.

Speaker biography:
Dr Sauro Succi serves as Senior Research Executive and Principal Investigator at the Center for Life Nano Sciences at la Sapienza of the Italian Institute of Technology and Research Affiliate of the Physics Department of Harvard University.

His research activity covers a broad range of topics related to complex states of owing matter, such as fluid turbulence, micro and nanofluidics, soft matter as well as subnuclear flows. He is best known for his contributions to the early inception, development and application of the Lattice Boltzmann method, for which he has received a number of international awards, including the APS 2017 Aneesur Rahman Prize in Computational Physics and the 2019 Berni J. Alder CECAM Prize for exceptional contributions to the microscopic simulation of matter.
