Mechanics

The International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM) and the German Mathematical Society (DMV) hold their 2027 annual meetings jointly, covering pure and applied mathematics and mechanics. Accepted plenary lectures include the Ludwig Prandtl Memorial Lecture by Katepalli Raju Sreenivasan on fluid mechanics and turbulence, and lectures by Alexandre Ern (numerical analysis), Alessio Figalli (optimal transport, geometric inequalities and free boundary problems), Rolf Findeisen (control engineering, machine learning and optimisation), Caroline Lasser (numerics for PDEs), Hanna

L. Mahadevan investigates how geometry, mechanics and randomness connect form with function. With Steven Strogatz, he considers Möbius strips, brain folds, termite colonies and morphogenesis, showing how experiments with simple materials can illuminate biological organization and the role of noisy processes in geometric intuition.
