The Cahn-Hilliard equation is one of the fundamental models to describe phase separation dynamics in metal alloys. In this talk, I will focus on applying traditional dynamical tools, such as bifurcation theory and computational topology in order to gain a better understanding of droplet formation during nucleation for the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation for different variations of noise and of boundary conditions.
