Title: Eigenvector Methods for Community Detection in Hypergraphs Abstract: Hypergraphs are generalizations of graphs in which edges are allowed to contain arbitrary numbers of nodes. Hypergraphs are well-suited for modeling […]
Title: Mixing and Pumping on the Microscale Abstract: Mixing and pumping in microfluidics devices is difficult because the traditional methods of mixing and pumping at large length scales don’t work […]
Title: Traditional Applied Math, and then, Working with High Dimensional Biological Data Abstract: I will give an overview of my interests in two parts. The first part will be on […]
Title: Circadian Rhythms in Multinucleate Cells Abstract: Circadian rhythms are among the most researched cellular processes, but limited work has been done on how these rhythms are coordinated between nuclei in multinucleate […]

Title: A Recommendation Systems Approach for Detecting Epistasis Abstract: There are a variety of methods used to understand and interpret an organism’s phenotype, the physical expression of one or more […]
Title: Exploring Phage Treatment for Bacterial Infections with Mathematical Modeling Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global health today. A renewed interest in phage therapy – the […]
Title: Understanding Complex Social Systems using Minimal Mathematical Models Abstract: Minimal mathematical models are used to understand complex phenomena in the physical, biological, and social sciences. This modeling philosophy never […]
Title: Collective motion in the mitotic spindle Abstract: Math models of interacting individuals moving as a collective have been profoundly successful in describing physical and social phenomena ranging from swarming insects […]

Title: TBA Abstract: TBA
Archetypal analysis is an unsupervised learning method that uses a convex polytope to summarize multivariate data. For fixed k, the method finds a convex polytope with k vertices, called archetype […]
