QLS Seminar - Wednesday 6 August at 11h00 "Spatio-temporal Selection Dynamics: From Evolutionary Graphs to Reaction–Diffusion Equations" by Kamran KAVEH (University of Minnesota)

[Quantitative Life Sciences]

Dear All,

On Wednesday, 6 August  at 11:00 CET, Prof. Kamran Kaveh (U. of 
Minnesota)  will give a seminar titled:

*"Spatio-temporal Selection Dynamics: From Evolutionary Graphs to 
Reaction–Diffusion Equations**"

*_Abstract:

_I will discuss stochastic models of evolutionary dynamics in structured 
populations, focusing on evolutionary graph theory and its extension to 
game-theoretic interactions. I will present recent work showing how 
spatial Moran processes converge, in the large-population limit, to 
continuum models that extend or deviate from the classical 
Fisher–Kolmogorov equation. In certain regimes, these limits yield 
reaction–diffusion dynamics related to the KPZ universality class. I 
will also touch on extensions to evolutionary games, evolution in 
heterogeneous media and applications to spatial modelling of cancer 
therapies, including glioblastoma.
