Adinkras: Snapshots of Supersymmetry (Jordan Kostiuk, Brown University)
Adinkras: Snapshots of Supersymmetry (Jordan Kostiuk, Brown University)
An “Adinkra” is a graphical tool to describe a branch of particle physics known as supersymmetry. Understanding the mathematics of Adinkras shines a light on the underlying physics, as well as helps to explore new areas of mathematics. After describing the basic structure of Adinkras, I will discuss some of these interesting interactions between mathematics […]

Why biologists cant stop saying single-cell and how this is a distinctly mathematical refrain
Why biologists cant stop saying single-cell and how this is a distinctly mathematical refrain
Single-cell genomics is a catch phrase for numerous new technologies and methods that allow for probing cells at genome scale. I will explain what this means and describe some examples that illustrate the excitement in this new domain. While single-cell genomics technologies draw on methods from a variety of disciplines such asf biology, chemistry and […]
