Mathematics is often about understanding objects through their symmetries. But what do you do when the group of symmetries is nightmarishly complicated? Answer: You turn the problem into one where you can apply math’s ultimate weapon: linear algebra...

Phase I clinical trials explore the toxicity of new therapeutic agents. Phase II trials seek to establish some sign of efficacy. But practical applications vary creating a suite of statistical expressions for these trials’ goals and objectives. There...

A variety of strategies and approaches have been proposed, and implemented by governments, for COVID mitigation. In this presentation, I introduce some of these, briefly discuss some of the resulting difficulties - in particular in the context of the...

In this talk we will discuss how bistability in a spatially extended system can lead to fascinating localized steady-state solutions. We will primarily focus on the Swift-Hohenberg equation, which is a is known to support a variety of spatially...
