DESCRIPTION:<span>   <span>Biological   interfaces organise animal life at
  various scales. Cell organelles or in the   cell envelop\, lipid membrane
 s and cortical layers determine the mechanical   properties and provide st
 ructural integrity\, but at the same time are   required to be malleable t
 o drive or accommodate dramatic remodelling events.   Mechanically\, these
  interfaces exhibit features of solids and of fluids\, are   chemically re
 sponsive\, and can generate active forces. Mathematically\, they   can be 
 modelled using partial differential equations on time-evolving   surfaces.
  In this talk I will present our efforts to develop a transparent   modell
 ing framework and numerical methods for the chemo-elasto-hydrodynamics   o
 f such systems\, with applications to dynamical shape transformations of l
 ipid   bilayers and thin active fluids.&nbsp\;<br>     </span></span>
