Abstract

It really started 20 months earlier, when Manuel gave a seminar to the Homsy research group at Stanford University. Manuel captivated me with his description of the “solitary” wave and the new nonlinear wave equation he was deriving in active media. He came to my seminar not long after, where I was declaring my intention to finish my doctorate soon. I considered myself a new breed of fluid dynamicist—a computational modeller. Manuel could see the utility of our collaboration, so he invited me to Madrid.
