  • Applied Math Seminar — Amy Buchmann (University of San Diego)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    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 at small length scales. Experimental work has suggested that rotating helical flagella may be used to effectively mix and pump fluid in microfluidics devices. To […]

  • Virtual Trivalent Spatial Graphs . . . (Sherilyn Tamagawa)

    Title: Virtual Trivalent Spatial Graphs and Virtual Niebrzydowski Algebras Speaker: Prof. Sherilyn Tamagawa Visiting Assistant Professor Pomona College Abstract: If you were given two tangled up circles of string, could you untangle […]

  • Applied Math Seminar — Manuchehr Aminian (Cal Poly Pomona)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    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 passive tracer problems – with the goal of finding formulas of descriptive statistics (mean, variance, skewness) for a solute distribution advected by a smooth flow […]

  • Applied Math Seminar — Leif Zinn-Brooks (HMC/Scripps)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    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 cells. I'll analyze a mathematical model for circadian oscillations in a multinucleate cell, motivated by mRNA and protein data from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Stochastic simulations of […]
