SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: (Hrushikesh Mhaskar\, Claremont Grad Uni.)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Hrushikesh Mhaskar\, Distinguished Research Professor of Mathematics\, Claremont Graduate University \nTitle: Local Analysis Of Global Data \nAbstract: For a periodic integrable function f\, the definition of Fourier coefficients requires the values of f on the entire period.\nWe refer to such data as “global” data. Even though the sequence of Fourier coefficients determines f uniquely\,\nthey do not reveal by themselves local features such as the locations of discontinuities of f (whose definition requires\nthe values of f locally near the point of discontinuity). We will describe our work for extracting such local features\nfrom global data. We will discuss some modern applications such as the separation of blind source signals\, and\nmachine learning problems\, classification and regression in particular. \nBio: Hrushikesh Mhaskar is a research professor of mathematics. He holds a PhD in mathematics\, MS in computer science\, and MS in mathematics from Ohio State University\, and an MSc in mathematics from Indian Institute of Technology\, Mumbai. \nMhaskar’s area of research is approximation theory and harmonic analysis. He has done pioneering work in the theory of weighted polynomial approximation on the real line\, making deep contributions in the areas of orthogonal polynomial expansions and applications of potential theory to the study of orthogonal polynomials\, now known as Freud polynomials. This work is recognized through such terms as Mhaskar-Rahmanov-Saff number and Mhaskar-Saff functional. Since 1990\, he has been interested in machine learning and signal processing\, making pioneering contributions to the theory of approximation capabilities (expressive power) of shallow and deep neural networks\, kernel-based methods\, and manifold learning. He has published two books\, five edited volumes\, and over 150 refereed papers. His research is supported currently by the National Science Foundation\, and previously by the U.S. Air Force\, U.S. Army\, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (U.S.A.). \nMhaskar serves on the editorial boards of Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis\, Journal of Approximation Theory\, Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics\, Jaen Journal of Approximation\, and Mathematical Foundations of Computing. Currently\, he has an affiliation with the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His honors include the Alexander v. Humboldt fellowship (5 times)\, John von Neumann distinguished professorship at Technical University in Munich in 2011\, and August-Wilhelm Scheer visiting professor at TUM (postponed due to the pandemic).

SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: Stochastic Agent-Based Models in Mathematical Biology (Nabil Fadai\, University of Nottingham)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nabil Fadai\, Professor of Mathematical Biology\, University of Nottingham \nTitle: Stochastic Agent-Based Models in Mathematical Biology \nAbstract: In the last decade\, there has been a movement to describe biological and social systems via agent-based models\, which track individual agents (organisms\, cells\, people) and their environment through a set of deterministic and probabilistic rules. In this talk\, we examine how these local individual-based mechanisms translate into global population dynamics. In particular\, we will consider the Allee effect in population models\, which were originally proposed to describe population dynamics that cannot be explained by exponential and logistic growth models. Using stochastic individual-based models\, we can obtain a modelling framework that translates particular global Allee effects to specific individual-based mechanisms. This modelling framework is then extended to applications in the social sciences\, including the modelling of sports riots and panic-buying. \nBio: Nabil  Fabir is an assistant professor at the University of Nottingham\, whose research focuses on employing reaction-diffusion equations and agent-based modelling to describe physical phenomena in a variety of applications. Originally from the west coast of Canada\, Nabil completed his PhD in the Industrially Focused Mathematical Modelling doctoral training centre at the University of Oxford in 2018. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane\, Australia\, and has been at Nottingham since 2020. In addition to his research in industrial mathematics and mathematical biology\, Nabil is passionate about inclusive curriculum and accessible teaching to undergraduate students. \n

SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: Journey of Black Mathematicians- Creating Pathways (Movie Screening\, A film by George Csicsery)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Journey of Black Mathematicians \nFilm Description: Creating Pathways (2025) highlights the lives of Black mathematicians who pursued their education at predominantly White institutions. The film gauges the impacts of segregation and prejudice\, surveys attitudes around identity\, and introduces programs aimed at increasing the number of African Americans in STEM fields. Exploring questions about the beauty and philosophical meanings of mathematics\, the film also shows how careers in applied mathematics provide attractive and useful opportunities for the next generation. \nModerator: Talithia Williams\, Professor of Mathematics and Mathematics Clinic Director\, Harvey Mudd College \nPanelist: Onetta Brooks ’74\nMichael Dairyko ’13\nTesfa Asmara ’24\nEdray Goins\, Professor of Mathematics\, Pomona College
