Bordered Floer theory has proven quite useful for studying satellites. In this talk, I'll discuss how to use gradings in bordered Floer theory to study the Floer thickness, 3-genus, and…
UUG is holding a Math Grad School Applications Workshop. We will have a presentation about applying to grad schools in mathematics. We will touch on the topics of personal statements,…
Systems governed by laws of self-organization arise in many different contexts including biology (swarming behavior of animals), social (opinion dynamics, social networks), technological (cosmology, control, robotics), and others. A particular challenge in studying such…
The 21st century has seen a boom in the production of data as well as methods to analyze data. One such methodology is Topological data analysis (TDA), where concepts from topology are used…
We discuss the reasons for the introduction of Valuation Adjustments as a consequence of the financial crisis of 2007-9. We introduce an arbitrage-free framework for robust valuation adjustments. An investor…
Kornelia Bastin, OR PhD Student People are faced with an overwhelming amount of news, only some of which comes from credible sources and is fact verified. The main idea behind…
Sandia National Laboratories is a federally funded research and development center that develops and applies science, technology, and engineering solutions for pressing national security challenges. Mathematics at all levels of…
Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a relatively young field in both algebraic topology and machine learning. Tools from TDA, in particular persistent homology, have proven successful in many scientific disciplines. Persistence…

Elliptic integrands are used to model anisotropic energies in variational problems. These energies are employed in a variety of applications, such as crystal structures, capillarity problems and gravitational fields, to…
Kitware researchers Dr. Rachel Clipp and Dr. Matt Brown will talk about their transition from academic research to R&D at a private company as well as some of their active…
Experts have long realized the parallels between elliptic and parabolic theory of partial differential equations. It is well known that elliptic theory may be considered a static, or steady-state, version…
Imagine tying up your shoelaces into a knot. How can we measure the difficulty of unknotting this mess? In this talk, we will study mathematical knots and various measurements of…
Hierarchical models are statistical log-linear models that record the dependency relations among random variables in statistics. Diaconis and Sturmfels in '98 propose using ideals to study these models. I will start by introducing…
The NCSU Counseling center will provide a training for graduate students and the department for suicide prevention, using the QPR methodology. As members of the campus educational community, it is…
