Let d>k be positive integers. Motivated by an earlier result of Bugeaud and Nguyen, we let Ek,d be the set of (c1,…,ck)∈ℝk≥0 such that |α0||α1|c1⋯|αk|ck≥1 for any algebraic integer α of degree d, where we label its Galois conjugates as α0,…,αd−1 with...

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is based on swarm intelligence and widely used in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Like many other nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms, it is already widely used to tackle all sorts of hard...

Highly evolved animals continuously update their knowledge of social factors, refining movement decisions based on both historical and real-time observations. Despite its significance, research on the underlying mechanisms remains limited. In this...

We provide a detailed study on effective versions of the celebrated Bilu's equidistribution theorem for Galois orbits of sequences of points of small height in the N-dimensional algebraic torus, identifying the qualitative dependence of the...

Infectious diseases are complex systems across many scales. In this talk, I will use mathematical models to investigate a range of cross-scale questions in infectious disease eco-evolutionary dynamics. I will begin by modelling the transition from...

I will discuss a result with Bonatti and Crovisier from 2009 showing that the C^1 generic diffeomorphism f of a closed manifold has trivial centralizer; i.e. fg = gf implies that g is a power of f. I’ll discuss features of the C^1 topology that...

Bregman proximal-type algorithms, such as mirror descent, are popular in optimization and data science for effectively exploiting problem structures and optimizing them under tailored geometries. However, most of existing convergence results rely on...

A fundamental challenge in infection biology is predicting the dynamics of within-host microbial growth and immune activation. However, data typically comes as static snapshots, limiting our ability to test theories. Therefore, we established live...

Testing Gravity 2025 will be the 5th Testing Gravity conference hosted by Simon Fraser University. Held at the SFU Harbour Centre from January 29 - February 1, 2025, it will bring together leading experts on various ways of testing laws of gravity...
