First interested in pattern formation through his experimental work on Rayleigh-Bénard convection during his Ph.D., Patrice le Gal was, back then, especially interested in the formation and the interaction of Von Karman wakes and also in the instabilities of the Ekman boundary layer over rotating disks.
Le Gal has published more than 70 research articles in fluid mechanics: on convective patterns, wakes, turbulence, rotating boundary layer instabilities, plankton bioluminescence and more recently on the elliptic instability. He is currently involved in experiments on stratified and rotating flows: strato-rotational instability, internal wave generation, wave breaking, vortex formation. All of these flows have applications in geo and astrophysics.
Recently he developed several artscience projects in collaboration with Javiera Tejerina-Risso who is a video artist. In this talk he talked about the WAVES project they worked on together—an art-science project aimed to install videos, images and multimedia performances based on the visualization of water surface waves.

Join us for this unique opportunity to hear the artist / scientist discuss their exhibited works resulting from their decade long collaboration. Works on view include Zero@Wavefunction, Nanomandala, Blue Morph and Brain Storming a work in progress. After the overview of the works in the gallery, you will be able to follow the Brain Storming session on Alan Turing and the Brain. Neuroscientist Mark Cohen, engineer Ramesh Jain, and artist Connie Samaras will be participating in this live discussion. The exhibition is organized by David Familian who will be moderating the session.
