Multiscale multicellular models combine representations of subcellular biological networks, cell behaviors, tissue level effects and whole body effects to describe tissue outcomes during development, homeostasis and disease. I will briefly introduce...

Critical and near-critical percolation is well-understood in dimension 2 and in high dimensions. The behaviour in intermediate dimensions (in particular 3) is still largely not understood, but in recent years there was some progress in this field...

We consider the problem of estimating large rank-one matrix, given noisy observations. This inference problem is known to have a phase transition, in the sense that partial recovery of the original matrix is only possible if the signal-to-noise ratio...

The Bratteli-Vershik model is a method of producing minimal actions of the integers on a Cantor set. It was given by myself, Rich Herman and Chris Skau, building on seminal ideas of Anatoly Vershik, over 30 years ago. Rather disappointingly and...

Binocular rivalry explores the question of how the brain copes with contradictory information. A subject is shown two different pictures – one to each eye. What images does the subject perceive? Results from rivalry experiments usually lead to...

We prove that the L-space conjecture holds for those L-spaces obtained from Dehn surgery on knots which are closures of iterated 1-bridge braids, i.e., the braids obtained from satellite operations on 1-bridge braids. This statement generalizes Tran...
