The 2022 lecture will honor the accomplishments of Stephen H. Davis, Walter P. Murphy Professor Emeritus of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics, who passed away at age 82 on November 12, 2021. Professor Davis's contributions to fluid mechanics and materials science are well known, and the event will celebrate his life and research.
The keynote lecture will be delivered by Grae Worster, professor of fluid dynamics at the University of Cambridge. Northwestern Engineering professors Michael J. Miksis and Peter W. Voorhees will also deliver remarks.

Grae Worster
Professor of Fluid Dynamics, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge
Worster's lecture, "The Dynamics of Super-absorbent Hydrogels," will outline how he and his colleagues developed a new mathematical approach to model super-absorbent hydrogels, allowing for strongly nonlinear swelling while remaining linear in deviatoric strains, in effect treating hydrogels as instantaneously incompressible and linear elastic materials. Worster will describe this model and illustrate its features by solving simple examples of swelling spheres and transpiration through cylinders, and by analyzing different instabilities that can arise during swelling and drying. Worster will also introduce a hypothesis for a potential role of hydrogels in pumping water up very tall trees.

The Northwestern Sustainability Lecture Series is a 1-day summit at Northwestern University wherein world-renowned experts discuss: “Earth-Human Interactions: Sustainability and Development.” In this event, six Northwestern Sustainability Lecturers are selected to talk about critical challenges and advances related to energy, climate and the environment, and urban transformations, as well as to be recognized for their prominent contributions in these fields. The summit addresses the analysis of questions, problems, and solutions that result from human interactions with the Earth both above and below the surface while aiming at expanding the educational and cultural experience of a large audience. Conceptually
developed for the undergraduate and graduate students of Northwestern, this event also targets its faculty members and aims at involving the industry, other stakeholders, and the general public. The ultimate goal of this summit is to inform and inspire present and future leaders while recognizing excellence across the fields of applied sciences and engineering, physical sciences, social sciences, and architecture.TIME Thursday, May 26, 2022 at 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
