Patterns and Topology in Micromagnetics

Heraklion, Crete, May 16-17, 2019

Scope

This meeting is organised as a satellite to HMM2019 and we will focus on observation and theory of micromagnetic patterns, on mathematical aspects of micromagnetics and on the cross-fertilization between mathematics and physics (theoretical and experimental).

Venue: The meeting will take place at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Crete, in room A304. The Department will provide office space for all participants.
