Genevieve Walsh, Tufts University, Incoherent free-by-free groups
A group G is called coherent if every finitely generated subgroup of G is finitely presented. This is a property enjoyed by the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds, and it is deeply related to the geometry of the group. We show…

Tensors (aka multiway arrays) can be instrumental in revealing latent correlations residing in high dimensional spaces. Despite their applicability to a broad range of applications in machine learning, speech recognition, and imaging, inconsistencies between tensor and matrix algebra have been…
Find out moreWenpin Tang, University of California, Berkeley, Discrete and continuous ranking models
In this talk, I will discuss two different 'ranking' models: Mallows' ranking model and rank-dependent diffusions. In the first part, I will discuss the rank-dependent diffusions. I will focus on two models: Up the River model, and N-player games with…
Find out moreShan Gao, Beijing Institute of Technology, Discrete Geometrically-Exact Beams
A geometrically-exact beam is a nonlinear field-theoretic model for elongated elastic objects. It utilizes moving frames to reduce the number of system’s independent spatial variables, which is a further development of Euler’s approach to the rotational dynamics of rigid bodies.…
Find out moreRenee Brady, NC State, Forecasting Cancer: Predicting Individual Responses to Intermittent Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer
Intermittent androgen deprivation therapy (IADT) is an attractive treatment approach for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (PCa), whereby cycling treatment on and off has been shown to limit toxicities and reduce cumulative dose. While IADT has been shown to delay the…
