Abstract for "Derivation of simplified effective equations for the large scale front propagation of turbulent reaction diffusion equations": I will discuss the derivation of simplified effective equations for the large scale front propagation of turbulentreaction diffusion equations in the simplest prototypical situations involving advection by turbulent velocity fields with two separated scales. The talk is based on the papers "Large scale front dynamics for turbulent reaction-diffusion equations with separated velocity scales" by Andrew J. Majda and Panagiotis E. Souganidis, and "Comparison of turbulent flame speeds from complete averaging and the G-equation" by Pedro F. Embid, Andrew J. Majda and Panagiotis E. Souganidis.
