DESCRIPTION:From sea slugs to robots: Computation\, discrete geometry\, and
  soft mechanics in non-Euclidean elasticity\n\nWhy are there intricate\, s
 elf-similar wrinkles along the edges of growing leaves\, blooming flowers\
 , torn plastic sheets\, and frilly sea slugs? I will describe how these co
 mplex and exquisite patterns are governed by interacting non-smooth geomet
 ric defects in the material. Characterizing and analyzing these defects us
 ing discrete differential geometry can uncover insights into the elastic b
 ehavior and properties underlying the morphogenesis of leaves and flowers\
 , the biomechanics of sea slugs\, and how one might design and actuate sof
 t robots.
