Talks given by Professor Mike Cates

Obviously this only lists talks that are listed through talks.cam. Furthermore, this facility only works if the speaker's e-mail was specified in a talk. Most talks have not done this.

• Dynamical Field Theories without Detailed Balance
• Flow and Arrest of Very Dense Suspensions
• Title to be confirmed
• Directed Assembly of Active Colloidal Devices
• Lucasian Professorship Inaugural Lecture - Two Theories of Jamming Transitions

Talks organised by Professor Mike Cates

This list is based on what was entered into the 'organiser' field in a talk. It may not mean that Professor Mike Cates actually organised the talk, they may have been responsible only for entering the talk into the talks.cam system.
