Humans are affecting the planet in diverse ways. One of those that receives scant attention is the effect that chemicals are having on life. In this talk, I will use data from my lab on a variety of animal models, including invertebrates and...

We describe a new form of diagonalization for linear two point constant coefficient differential operators with arbitrary linear boundary conditions. Although the diagonalization is in a weaker sense than that usually employed to solve initial...

Consider two finitely generated field extensions K and L of the same transcendence degree over some base field F. Suppose these extensions become isomorphic over F after adjoining some variables. Does this imply that K isalready isomorphic to L over...

Decomposable abelian varieties, and particularly decomposable Jacobians, have a long history; mainly in the form of formulas to compute hyperelliptic integrals in terms of elliptic ones. The first case where one can have a decomposable Jacobian...

The Vlasov-Landau-Maxwell equation is often regarded as the first-principle physics model for plasmas, which collectively accounts for particle transport, electromagnetic field effects, and particle collisions. We introduce a novel particle method...

Deep learning-based approaches have succeeded surprisingly in various fields of sciences. In particular, one of the first and most successful achievements of them is image classification. Now, deep learning-based algorithms perform even better than...

For a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set of all $n\times n$ real symmetric matrices $A=[a_{i,j}]$ with $a_{i,j}\neq 0$ if and only if $\{i,j\}$ is an edge of $G$. There are no restrictions on the diagonal entries of $A$...

In Allen's talk, we learned that the deformations of an algebra A can be classified by certain Hochschild cohomology classes. In this talk, we will see that the Hochschild cochains of A can be endowed with a differential graded (DG) Lie algebra...

One of the central questions in developmental biology is how organs form in the correct positions in order to create a functional mature organism. Plant leaves offer an easily observable example of organ positioning, with species-specific motifs for...

In this talk, I will summarize the research on enriched algebraic theories, monads, and varieties that I produced with Rory Lucyshyn-Wright during my previous postdoctoral fellowship at Brandon University. I will start by providing a historical...
