Valentina Wheeler

Dr. Valentina Wheeler, a mathematician at the University of Wollongong with a focus on geometric analysis, discusses her innovative work on wildfires and red blood cells. She explains how wildfires merge to create faster V-shaped flames using the principles of mean curvature flow. Wheeler emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research in modeling real-world events accurately. She also explores how concepts like Hellfric energy can shed light on red blood cell dynamics, potentially improving treatment options for patients.
