Antonio De Rosa,Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, Elliptic integrands in variational problems
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…
Rachel Clipp and Matt Brown, SIAM Student Chapter Industry Series: Kitware Inc.
Riddick 339Kitware 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…

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…
Triangle Lectures in Combinatorics
SAS 1102Triangle Lectures in Combinatorics Saturday, November 16, 2019 Lecture Hall: SAS Hall, Room 1102 North Carolina State University Raleigh, North Carolina The Triangle Lectures in Combinatorics (TLC) is a series of combinatorial…

SAS 4104Ruimeng Hu, Columbia University, Deep Fictitious Play for Stochastic Differential Games
Differential games, as an offspring of game theory and optimal control, provide the modeling and analysis of conflict in the context of a dynamical system. Computing Nash equilibria is one…
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…
Misha Kilmer, Tufts University, A new tensor framework – theory and applications
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,…

SAS 4104Wenpin 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…
Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis Seminar: Shan 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…
Renee Brady, NC State, Forecasting Cancer: Predicting Individual Responses to Intermittent Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer
Cox 306Intermittent 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…

SAS 1102Profs. Ilse Ipsen, Ralph Smith, and Mansoor Haider will provide their insight on experiences in academic job hiring. This panel will provide graduate students interested in careers in academia with…
Interview Strategies Panel
This panel discussion will provide students with interview strategies for different types of jobs (academic, industrial, labs, etc.). Some time will be spent on the environment at the Joint Mathematics…
