SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar: Ruijun Zhao (Claremont McKenna College)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Mathematical models studying the effectiveness of control strategies for malaria \nAbstract: According to the 2023 World Malaria Report: Nearly half the world’s population lives in areas at risk of malaria transmission in 85 countries and territories. In 2022\, malaria caused an estimated 249 million clinical episodes\, and 608\,000 deaths. In this talk\, we will discuss a few mathematical models that study the effectiveness of control strategies such as vaccines and insecticide-treated bednets. We will also discuss a model to understand the interplay between malaria dynamics\, economic growth\, and transient events. The challenges when conducting mathematical analysis and numerical simulation will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar: Sarah Marzen (Department of Natural Science)
DESCRIPTION:Title: How well do neurons\, humans\, and artificial neural networks predict? \nAbstract: Sensory prediction is thought to be vital to organisms\, but few studies have tested how well organisms and parts of organisms efficiently predict their sensory input in an information-theoretic sense.  In this talk\, we report results on how well cultured neurons (“brain in a dish”) and humans efficiently predict artificial stimuli. We find that both are efficient predictors of their artificial input.  That leads to the question of why\, and to answer this\, we study artificial neural networks\, finding that LSTMs show similarly efficient prediction but do not model how humans learn well.  Instead\, it appears that an existing model of cultured neurons and a model of humans as order-R Markov modelers explain their performance on these prediction tasks.

SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar: Christina Edholm (Scripps College)
DESCRIPTION:Title:    Controlling the unmanageable: insight into control methods for biological systems \nAbstract:\nWhen formulating a model for a biological system\, often we want to use the model to understand the implications of management options and how to optimize the implementation. There are various methods for implementing management through control theory\, ranging from basic\, optimal control\, adaptive control\, and more. We will discuss the different options for utilizing control for biological systems\, and when these different methods make the most sense. The applications focus on invasive species and epidemiology but can be broadened to various other applications.
