17.40-18.10 Philip Gerlee: Biologiska vågor (Biological waves)
In Swedish, abstract on Swedish page
18.10-18.40 Eszter Lakatos: Waves of cancer and how to tackle them
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. What makes it challenging to treat is that often an initial good response is followed by waves of cancer re-appearing one after the other. I will discuss how we use mathematics and simulations to understand these new waves, and design new treatments that can keep them under control.

19.00-19.30 Julie Rowlett: The mathematics of waves and the power of prediction
Waves are an essential part of daily life, from the sounds we hear to the colors we see, and the technologies upon which we rely. No matter the type of wave, they all obey the same laws of physics. Translating these laws into the language of mathematics makes it possible to solve equations governing the behavior of waves and therewith make predictions about them. I'll try to give you a sense of how this works in both theory and practice.
