I will describe recent work on the behavior of solutions to
reaction diffusion equations (PDEs) when the coefficients in the
equation are random. The solutions behave like traveling waves moving
in a randomly varying environment. I will explain how one can obtain
limit theorems (Law of Large Numbers and CLT) for the motion of the
interface. The talk will be accessible to people without much knowledge
of PDE.
