David Lloyd visited the University of Minnesota Twin Cities last week (10-14 August) to attend and speak at the conference “Order and function in complex systems: coherent structures, selection and stability“. The conference was in honor of the 60th birthday of Arnd Scheel, Professor of Mathematics at UMN. Dave spoke on “Towards a spatial dynamics bifurcation theory for fully localised 2D patterns in anisotropic systems“. Abstract of the talk, and further details on the conference available at the conference website. The photo below shows Dave during his talk.
