Explorations in Mathematical Modeling and Biofluids

SAS 1102

Speaker: Lisa Fauci, Professor of Mathematics, Tulane University Abstract: In the past decade, the study of the fluid dynamics of swimming organisms has flourished. My research has been centered on answering questions about biophysics using computational models of fluid flow: How do mammalian sperm penetrate the outer layer of an egg for successful fertilization?  How…

Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis Seminar: Jacopo Schino, NC State, Orbital stability of ground states to Schrödinger equations with mass constraint

Zoom

I will discuss the existence and orbital stability of standing-wave solutions (i.e., with a specific time-dependence) with minimal energy (so-called ground states) to a non-linear Schrödinger equation where the L² norm is prescribed. I will focus on the simpler case where the energy is bounded below and show a novel approach that simplifies the proof.  Zoom Meeting: link  

Teaching and Learning Seminar: Ray Levy, NC State, NC State Data Science Academy, The ADAPT Model: pedagogical choices for the new NC State Data Science Academy

SAS 4201

Come discuss your favorite course design principles and learn which ones are a part of the Data Science Academy ADAPT course model.  The All-campus Data Science Accessible Project Based Teaching and Learning (ADAPT) model operationalizes the idea that at NC State, data science is for everyone.  The 1-credit project-based courses have attracted undergraduates, graduate students,…

Geometry and Topology Seminar: Joonas Ilmavirta, University of Jyväskylä, Finland, Inverse problems with neutrinos

Zoom

Neutrinos are very weakly interacting particles that have unique properties that allow indirect measurements that cannot be realized with any other particle or field. I will give an introduction to neutrino physics and describe two inverse problems with neutrinos. This is based on joint work with Gunther Uhlmann. https://ncsu.zoom.us/j/94955574178?pwd=cFpRUlZScXRmdGFscE5FZEhIb1NWdz09 Meeting ID: 949 5557 4178 Passcode: 301451

Differential Equations Seminar: Paul Manns, TU Dortmund, Germany, On total variation regularization for PDE-constrained optimization with integer controls

Zoom

We study the effect of total variation regularization on PDE-constrained optimization problems, where the control input functions may only attain finitely many integer values. The regularization helps to avoid undesirable effects such as chattering behavior. In particular, the weak-* compactness of the feasible set in the space of functions of bounded variation allows to derive…

Numerical Analysis Seminar: Brendan Keith, Brown University, Adaptive sampling for constrained optimization under uncertainty

Zoom

Stochastic optimization problems with deterministic constraints commonly appear in machine learning, finance, and engineering applications. This talk presents a new adaptive solution strategy for this important class of problems. The aim is to decrease the computational cost while maintaining an optimal convergence rate. The guiding principle is to adjust the batch size (or sample size)…
