** 2015 PIMS Marsden Memorial Lecture
------------------------------------------------------------
Yann Brenier, École Polytechnique, Paris, will deliver a talk entitled, From Euler to Born-Infeld, Fluids and Electromagnetism. The lecture will take place on June 10, 2015 at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland as part of the Centre Interfacultaire Bernoulli Workshop on Classic and Stochastic Geometric Mechanics (http://bernoulli.epfl.ch/prog.php?id=1000000028) , June 8-12, 2015

Bio: Successively researcher at INRIA-Rocquencourt and IIMAS-UNAM-México, assistant professor at UCLA, professor at Paris 6 and École Normale Supérieure, YANN BRENIER is currently a senior CNRS researcher at École Polytechnique. Deeply influenced by the works of Arnold, Ebin and Marsden on the geometric interpretation of Euler’s equations of hydrodynamics, he introduced the concepts of generalized incompressible flows and polar factorization of maps, which played an important role in the development of optimal transportation theory in connection with partial differential equations and calculus of variations.

The PIMS Marsden Memorial Lecture Series (http://www.pims.math.ca/scientific/distinguished-lecture-series/marsden-memorial-lecture-series) is dedicated to the memory of Jerrold E Marsden (1942-2010), a world-renowned Canadian applied mathematician. Marsden was the Carl F Braun Professor of Control and Dynamical Systems at Caltech, and prior to that he was at the University of California, Berkeley, for many years. He did extensive research in the areas of geometric mechanics, dynamical systems and control theory. He was one of the original founders in the early 1970s of reduction theory for mechanical systems with symmetry, which remains an active and much studied area of research today.
