Roman Shvydkoy, University of Illinois, Chicago, Analytical perspectives on the emergence phenomena in systems of collective behavior
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…
John Nardini, NC State, The Topology of Data
SAS 2102The 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…

SAS 4104Maxim Bichuch, Johns Hopkins University, Robust XVA
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 and Johnny Gillings Jr., NC State, News Methodologies and Predicting and Deterring Outbreaks of Malaria (INFORMS presentation)
Daniels 371Kornelia 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…
Jordan Massad, Mathematics and Statistics at Sandia National Laboratories: A Perspective from an Engineering Scientist
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…
Yu-Min Chung, UNC Greensboro, Summaries of persistence diagrams and their applications to data science
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…

SAS 4104Blair Davey, City College of New York, New York, How to obtain parabolic theorems from their elliptic counterparts
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…
Tye Lidman, NC State, How hard is it to untie a knot?
SAS 2102Imagine 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…
Aida Maraj, Asymptotic Behaviours of Hierarchical Models
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…
QPR: Suicide Prevention Training
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…
