September 28, 2026 -Brain Imaging and Mathematical Modeling of Alzheimer’s Disease (Peter Hinow, U. Wisconsin, Milwaukee)
Brain Imaging and Mathematical Modeling of Alzheimer’s Disease (Peter Hinow, U. Wisconsin, Milwaukee)
A wide variety of medical imaging methods exist for research and diagnostic procedures on the Central Nervous System (CNS), among them Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Optical Imaging. Mathematical modeling and simulation contribute significantly to an improved understanding of image data and the intricate transport, diffusion, and metabolic processes in the brain. This is of […]

From the basics of extremal graph theory to bipartite Turan numbers of trees and star forests (Omid Khormali, HMC)
Extremal graph theory asks how many edges a graph can have while avoiding a given substructure. We will begin with a brief, accessible introduction to this area, before turning to a natural variant, the bipartite Turan number $(m,n;H)$, which restricts the host graph to be bipartite. This setting is especially natural when $H$ itself is […]

CCMS Colloquium: Stable Khovanov Homology for Torus Links — Christine Lee (Texas State University)
Abstract: Stable Khovanov homology Kh(T(n, \infty)) is an algebraic limit of the Khovanov homology groups of torus links T(n, k) on a fixed number of strands n, when more and more full twists are added as k \to \infty. Stable Khovanov homology is intimately related to the Jones polynomial because it categorifies the Jones-Wenzl projector, […]

October 3, 2026 -GEMS October 3rd Session
GEMS October 3rd Session
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Chiu-Yen Kao from Claremont McKenna College. Title: The Magic of 0s and 1s Abstract: Have you ever wondered how data in a computer is stored? In this talk, we'll crack open the binary numeral system, the simple code of 0s and 1s that represents everything on your […]
