    Title: Understanding scientific fields with network analysis and topic modeling Abstract: As scientific disciplines get larger, it becomes impossible for an individual researcher to be familiar with the entire body of […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Adam Waterbury (UCSB)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Approximating Quasi-Stationary Distributions with Interacting Reinforced Markov Chains Abstract: An important question in ecology is what conditions must be met for a population of interacting species to coexist. In […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Susan Friedlander (USC)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Kolmogorov, Onsager and a Dyadic Model for Turbulence Abstract: We will briefly review Kolmogorov’s ( 41) theory of homogeneous turbulence and Onsager’s ( 49 ) conjecture that in 3-dimensional […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Anna Nelson (Duke)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Mathematical modeling of polymerization processes in physiology Abstract: Polymerization, or aggregation, is essential for many physiological systems. For example, the emergence of a fibrin polymer mesh during the formation of […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Angel Chavez (Pomona)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Randomized Sums of Graph Spectra Abstract: The adjacency matrix of an Erdős-Rényi-Gilbert graph is a random symmetric matrix whose entries are Bernoulli random variables. These entries, modulo the constraints […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Jahrul Alum (Memorial University of Newfoundland)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Data-driven large eddy simulation of atmospheric turbulence Abstract: Over the last few years, machine learning has been critical in science and engineering and emerged as a data-driven turbulence model. However, machine learning depends on training data from previous experiments on turbulent flows. Typically, training data capture only a fraction of the active scales of […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Junshan Lin (Auburn)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Scattering Resonances Through Subwavelength Holes and Their Applications in Imaging and Sensing Abstract: The so-called extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through metallic nanoholes has triggered extensive research in modern plasmonics and their applications in bio-sensing, imaging, etc. This talk aims to provide quantitative mathematical theories to understand a variety of resonances that induce the EOT […]
