Title:  Can a function tell us how immune cells kill? Speaker: Prof. Ami Radunskaya (Pomona College, Claremont CA) Abstract: The immune system is able to fight cancer by mustering and training […]

Title: Geometric Optimization Involving Partial Differential Equations and Its Applications Speaker: Professor Chiu-Yen Kao, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA USA Abstract: Optimal geometric design for energy functionals, which depends on solutions to partial differential equations, provides a vast number of interesting and challenging mathematical problems. One of the famous problems is that L. Rayleigh conjectured that the disk […]
