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

    Title: Computational Approaches to Optimization Problems in Inhomogeneous Rods and Plates Abstract: In this talk, we will show the experiments of the vibration of plates to generate Chladni's figures and […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Harlin Lee (UCLA)

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

    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 turbulent flows energy dissipation might exist even in the limit of vanishing viscosity. Although over the past 70 years there is a vast body of […]

  • 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 a blood clot is required for a stable clot and long-term, sustained intracellular transport in neurons rely on persistent yet dynamic polymers that comprise the […]

  • 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 imposed by symmetry, are independent. We aim to understand the asymptotic behavior of randomized sums of the spectra and singular spectra of these matrices. In […]

  • 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. […]

  • 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 […]
