PUBLIC TALK:
  The Many Facets of Foam 
		
Tue, 08 Apr 2014 18:00 - Webb Lecture Theatre, UWA
		
A public lecture by Denis Weaire, Emeritus Professor, School of Physics,
Trinity College, Dublin and 2014 UWA Gledden Visiting Fellow.

The study of liquid foams has a long and fascinating history, involving
for example the blind Belgian physicist JAF Plateau and the inspiring
figure of Lord Kelvin in the 19th century. It remains a lively and wide
research topic, and has spilled over into art and architecture, as well
as many applications in industry. Professor Weaire will present a
personal overview of the subject, ranging from basic mathematical
questions to tomographic analysis of foam structures, which should
interest a wide range of scientists and engineers, and be accessible to
a wider audience as well.
