Alvaro Marin works on the science of «everything that flows». Despite being a complex field of physics, his work has put him often in close contact with artists. In his talk he will explain why this symbiosis has benefited both his own work and the work of the artists, and more importantly: why society needs this symbiosis urgently. Alvaro Marin works on the science of «everything that flows». After completing his PhD in Spain in 2008, he worked in Germany and in the Netherlands, where he is currently based as associate professor. One of the main reasons he chose this complex field of physics is its visual impact and its connection with every-day phenomena. His fascination for understanding and to illustrate these phenomena to others has led him to win twice the prestigious Milton Van Dyke Award for short films in fluid dynamics for their artistic value, scientific content, and originality. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
