Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the Math Circle Workshops. This is an enrichment program for students organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at the...

Recent advances in experimental methodologies and community efforts led to a surge in large and heterogeneous biological datasets across all scales, that require the developments of new methods to extract meaningful information. In this context, I...

Cubic fourfolds have been classically studied up to birational equivalence, with a view toward the rationality problem. The Fano variety of lines F(X) on a cubic fourfold X is a hyperkähler manifold, and the rationality of X is conjecturally captured...

I will discuss several recent results on the Turán density of long cycle-like hypergraphs. These results (due to Kamčev–Letzter–Pokrovskiy, Balogh–Luo, and myself) all follow a similar framework, and I will outline a general strategy to prove Turán...

We consider a region in the complex plane enclosed by a deltoid curve inscribed in the unit circle, and define a family of polynomials that satisfy the same recurrence relation as the Faber polynomials for this region. We use this family of...

This work investigates the integration of machine scheduling and personnel allocation problems. In machine scheduling, the goal is to find the optimal assignment of jobs to machines within a given time horizon, considering processing times and...

Much of the recent rigorous progress on the classical Ising model was driven by new detailed understanding of its stochastic geometric representations. Motivated by the problem of establishing exponential decay of truncated correlations of the...

Given two manifolds M and N, one can ask whether it is possible to cut M up into pieces and reassemble them to obtain N. This “cut-and-paste” (SK) relation fits into the framework of scissors congruence K-theory, which is an extension of higher...

Site percolation models are probability distributions of 2-colorings of the vertices of locally finite infinite graphs. Historically, they have been studied on graphs exhibiting symmetries such as (quasi)-transitivity. In joint work with Alexander...

Choleraremains a significant public health threat in many parts of the world, withdiffering levels of compliance to intervention strategies and undocumentedcases contributing to reservoir contamination with Vibrio cholerae at varyingrates alongside...
