In this talk, we will learn more about free boundary problems, which form a class of partial differential equations that are super cool and challenging to deal with (as usual, nothing is free in life!) We will see examples of such problems and explore techniques used to study them.   

Format of event: 

Part I: General audience math talk (2:00pm - 2:50pm)

COFFEE BREAK (10 minutes)

Part II: Advice for early career mathematicians (3:00pm - 3:20pm)
