In this talk, we focus on the study of mathematical theory of
the complex fluids. In the first part, we discuss the global existence for
weak solutons to multidimensional compressible flow of nematic liquid
crystals and the incompressible limits. In the second part, we establish
global existence and uniqueness results for weak solutions to
multidimensional Navier-Stokes-Vlasov equations.
