ANTC Seminar: Random Monomial Ideals (Lily Silverstein, CalPoly Pomona)
Probability is a now-classic tool in combinatorics, especially graph theory. Some applications of probabilistic techniques are: (1) describing the typical/expected properties of a class of objects, (2) uncovering phase transitions and sudden thresholds in the dependence of one property on another, and (3) producing examples of conjectured or unusual objects. (This last technique is sometimes […]

Shannons sampling theorem provides a link between the continuous and thediscrete realms stating that bandlimited signals are uniquely determined by itsvalues on a discrete set. This theorem is realized in practice using so called analog to digital converters (ADCs). Unlike Shannons sampling theorem, the ADCs are limited in dynamic range. Whenever a signal exceeds some […]

A geospatial modeling analysis of travel-time, bicycles, and HIV elimination in sub-Saharan Africa: the case of Malawi
A geospatial modeling analysis of travel-time, bicycles, and HIV elimination in sub-Saharan Africa: the case of Malawi
UNAIDS has proposed an ambitious strategy for ending the HIV pandemic. Their strategy depends upon achieving a treatment coverage goal of 90% by 2030. However, distance to healthcare and lack of transportation are major barriers to accessing HIV treatment in SSA. I will use data-based geospatial modeling to determine their potential impact as barriers to […]

GEMS Workshop: Working Together without a Leader with Professor Jasper Weinburd of Harvey Mudd College
GEMS Workshop: Working Together without a Leader with Professor Jasper Weinburd of Harvey Mudd College
TOPIC: Working Together without a Leader Bees all work together by communicating and obeying the orders of the Queen. Other animals gather in swarms, flocks, or schools and move in complicated ways without any leader at all. In a school of fish, each one is identical and they all follow the same simple rules. Yet they still […]
