In wound healing applications, platelet-like particles (PLPs) are engineered biomaterials that aim to mimic the behavior of natural platelets. Platelets play an essential role in the successful formation of the…

The famous knot complement theorem of Gordon and Luecke states that two knots in the three-sphere are equivalent if and only if the complements are homeomorphic. This was proved more…
In this talk, I will discuss the evolution of rigid bodies in a perfect incompressible fluid, and the limit systems that can be obtained as the bodies shrink to points. The…
Spatio-temporal dynamical systems, such as fluid flows or vibrating structures, are prevalent across various applications, from enhancing user comfort and reducing noise in HVAC systems to improving cooling efficiency in…
The Fisher-KPP equation was introduced in 1937 to model the spread of an advantageous gene through a spatially distributed population. Remarkably precise information on the traveling front has been obtained…
Determining the sensitivity of model outputs to input parameters is an important precursor to developing informative parameter studies, building surrogate models, and performing rigorous uncertainty quantification. A prominent class of…
Minimal surfaces are fundamental geometric objects which have been studied intensively since the 1700's. Classes of minimal surfaces of particular interest are the complete embedded ones in Euclidean space, closed…
Determinantal systems are systems of polynomial equations which encode a rank deficiency of a given matrix with polynomial entries over the solution set to other polynomial equations. Such systems arise…
Invariants withstand transformations and, therefore, represent the essence of objects or phenomena. In mathematics, transformations often constitute a group action. Since the 19th century, studying the structure of various types…
A "frieze" is an infinite strip of numbers satisfying certain determinantal identities, or any one of several generalizations of this idea. In this talk, I will give an introduction to…
It is with great enthusiasm that I have the opportunity to announce to the College this year's nominees for the Staff Awards for Excellence. Your colleagues, listed below, have been…
End of year awards and tea.
A convex continuous function can be determined, up to a constant, by its remoteness (distance of the subdifferential to zero). Based on this result, we discuss possible extensions in three…
Transition paths connecting metastable states are significant in science and engineering, such as in biochemical reactions. In this talk, I will present a stochastic optimal control formulation for transition path…
1. Kelsey Hanser Title : Greedy Kohnert Posets Abstract : K-Kohnert polynomials form a large family of polynomials which generalize Lascoux polynomials. Each K-Kohnert polynomial encodes a certain collection of…
