Gulliver seminars take place on Mondays at 11:30 AM in the F304 room, and typically last one hour including questions. The seminars are in English, and the scientific topics are mainly those studied in the laboratory.
Séminaire GULLIVER : Vincenzo Vitelli (University of Chicago)
The interaction between a peregrine falcon and a dove is visibly non-reciprocal. What happens to the well established framework of hydrodynamics and phase transitions in non-reciprocal systems far from equilibrium ? In this talk, I will first answer this question by looking at three archetypal topics in soft matter : active solids, flocking and interfacial dynamics. Simple demonstrations with robots will be presented along with naturally occurring phenomena from various domains of science that share a common feature : reciprocity has no reason to exist.
Next, I will discuss how to incorporate non-reciprocal individual preferences of decision-making organisms into a hydrodynamic theory. I will describe a data-driven pipeline that links micromotives to macrobehavior by augmenting hydrodynamics with socioeconomic utility functions that describe individual preferences. I will highlight how to use data-driven tools to not only validate the hypotheses underlying the hydrodynamic construction, but also to infer microscopic preferences using human residential dynamics in the US as a case study.

Gulliver seminar : Matthew Turner
Lundi 13 mai de 11h30 à 12h30 - C162
The audience is often heterogeneous - because of the wide range of scientific topics covered in the lab - so planning a talk for a broader audience would be preferred. The seminar is in English, and speakers are thus invited to prepare their slides in English.
The seminar starts at 11:30 AM. The speaker is asked to arrive in the lab at least 15 minutes in advance to set up their computer. The talks last typically 45 minutes, and are followed by a discussion time.
