Mathematical modeling of polymerization processes in physiology Abstract: Polymerization, or aggregation, is essential for many physiological systems. For example, the emergence of a fibrin polymer mesh during the formation of a blood clot is required for a stable clot and … Read more
The AWM is excited to host Dr. Di Fang of Duke University. Her talk, "Quantum Computing Through the Lens of an Applied Mathematician," will be held on Thursday, April 11th at 3:30 PM in Phillips 332 (the usual day, time, … Read more
Galois actions on cohomology of algebraic varieties Abstract. This talk will be an overview of a few big open problems which are of great importance in arithmetic algebraic geometry, number theory, and representation theory. The focus will be on the … Read more
Spreading of Innovations on Networks Abstract. Spreading (diffusion) of new products is a classical problem. Traditionally, it has been analyzed using the compartmental Bass model, which implicitly assumes that all individuals are homogeneous and connected to each other. To relax … Read more
Spectral lines of general-relativistic hydrogen Abstract. After reviewing basics of the spectral theory for non-relativistic quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians of hydrogenic ions, I discuss what impact the incorporation of additional effects such as special relativity, anomalous magnetic moment for the electron, and … Read more

Title-Bubble clusters and particle-pair dispersion in bubble-laden flows Abstract-Bubble clusters We use experiments to study the evolution of bubble clusters in a swarm of freely rising, deformable bubbles. A new machine learning-aided algorithm allows us to identify and track bubbles … Read more
Coarsening dynamics of condensing fluid thin films Abstract: The behavior of thin layers of viscous fluids coating solid surfaces is of importance in many industrial and natural applications. Interfacial instabilities and pattern formation can occur in films on water-repellent surfaces. Thin … Read more
Applied Mathematics Colloquium There will be a post-colloquium tea from 4:30p-5:00p in PH 330.
Positive geometry Abstract. Positive geometries are topological spaces sitting inside algebraic varieties that generalize convex polytopes embedded in projective space. Examples of positive geometries appear in the study of total positivity, toric varieties, and configuration spaces. I will give a … Read more
Stochastic and continuum modeling of protein polymer dynamics in neurons Abstract. Microtubules are protein polymers present in most cells; in neurons, microtubules are believed to be stable and to have specific orientations. This is crucial, since other key proteins get transported … Read more
