QLS Seminar - Mon. 28 October at 14:00 - The importance of being ‘discrete’: advances on lattice random walk theories in arbitrary dimensions and lattices

[Quantitative Life Sciences]

Dear All,

On Monday, 28 October at 14:00 CET, Luca Giuggioli (University of 
Bristol, UK) will give a seminar titled:

*The importance of being ‘discrete’: advances on lattice random walk 
theories in arbitrary dimensions and lattices
*

_Abstract:_

Recent analytical developments to describe diffusive processes in 
discrete space and time have opened up opportunities to study 
interaction processes that are generally hard to get to within a 
continuous space-time description. I will describe some of these 
advances focusing on first-passage dynamics in the presence of multiple 
reactive or partially reactive targets and with multiple inert 
heterogeneities (spatial disorder). I will also show a generalization of 
the formalism to when the movement statistics is correlated, that is for 
the one-step non-Markov lattice random walk, and its application to a 
foraging experiment on ants.
