Applied Math Talk: Bounded-confidence models for opinion dynamics on online social networks given by Professor Heather Zinn Brooks (HMC)
Online social media networks have become extremely influential sources of news and information. Given the large audience and the ease of sharing content online, the content that spreads on online […]

Prof. Grigoriy Blekherman
Title: Nonnegative Polynomials and Sums of Squares Abstract: Is x4-2x3+7x2-2x+1 nonnegative for any value of x? One way of showing that this holds is by writing x4-2x3+7x2-2x+1=1/2(x2-3x+1)2+1/2(x2+x+1)2. Studying the relationship […]

Applied Math Seminar: Numerical approximation of statistical solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws given by Professor Franziska Weber (Carnegie Mellon University)
ZoomStatistical solutions are time-parameterized probability measures on spaces of integrable functions, which have been proposed recently as a framework for global solutions for multi-dimensional hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. We […]

Applied Math Seminar: Multiscale analysis and high-order schemes for nonlinear multilevel Maxwell-Bloch equations given by Prof. Qing Xia (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
ZoomIn this talk, we will present a recent study of the Maxwell-Bloch equations that model the nonlinear interactions of light and matter, where the light is modeled classically by the Maxwell's equations with dispersions and the medium is modeled quantum-mechanically by the multilevel rate equations. We will show the connection between rate equations and the […]

ZoomTitle: Sea star locomotion Abstract: The oral surface of sea stars (starfish) is lined with arrays of tube feet that enable them to achieve highly controlled locomotion on various terrains and to even gallop and bounce. The activity of the tube feet is orchestrated by a nerve net that is distributed throughout the body; there […]

Title: The Effect of Criminal Justice Decisions on Community Safety Abstract: During this talk we will, time permitting, examine several law enforcement actor's impact on community safety, including law enforcement, prosecutors and judges. To start, we examine the impact of law enforcement race and gender on use of force. We first show that conditioning on […]
