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 […]

ZoomTitle: Networks in social systems Abstract: The spread of memes and misinformation on social media, political redistricting, interactions in animal populations, and the dynamics of voters during elections are among the many things that people study in the field of complex systems. All of these phenomena involve the interactions of individual parts, which come together […]

Applied Math. Talk: Complex Fluids in the Immersed Boundary Method: From Viscoelasticity to Blood Clots by Aaron Barrett, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah
The immersed boundary method was first developed in the 1970s to model the motion of heart valves and has since been utilized to study many different biological systems. While the […]

ZoomTitle: No-arbitrage pricing in a market for position on a multilane freeway, with an application to lane changing Abstract: We introduce a trading mechanism allowing cars to change position in a multilane congested freeway by doing peer-to-peer transactions. For the car initiating the operation, or incoming car, the goal can be to increase speed, to […]

Applied Math. Talk: Modeling and Simulation of Ultrasound-mediated Drug Delivery to the Brain by Peter Hinow, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
Zoom meeting , United StatesWe use a mathematical model to describe the delivery of a drug to a specific region of the brain. The drug is carried by liposomes that can release their cargo by application of focused ultrasound. Thereupon, the drug is absorbed through the endothelial cells that line the brain capillaries and form the physiologically important blood-brain […]

Applied math. talk: Heatmap centrality: a new measure to identify super-spreader nodes in scale-free networks by Christina Duron, the University of Arizona
Zoom meeting , United StatesAbstract: The identification of potential super-spreader nodes within a network is a critical part of the study and analysis of real-world networks. Motivated by a new interpretation of the “shortest […]
