** Please forward widely, apologies if you have already received this 
notice **

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to participate in the 35th edition of Dynamics
Days US. This year the conference will be hosted by three universities

Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. It will take place in downtown Durham, North Carolina, on
January 7-10, 2016. Dynamics Days US is an international conference
with a broad interdisciplinary focus on nonlinear dynamics in
mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering.

The following invited speakers have confirmed their participation

         Aparna Baskaran, Brandeis University
         Rafi Blumenfeld, Imperial College, London
         Nicholas Buchler, Duke University
