Past Events

The first response of epithelial cells to local wounds is a dramatic increase in cytosolic calcium. This increase occurs quickly – calcium floods into damaged cells within 0.1 s, moves into adjacent cells over ~20 s, and appears in a much larger set...

Comparisons are constantly being made between the 1918 influenza pandemic and the present COVID-19 pandemic. We will discuss our previous work on influenza pandemics, and the tools we have used to understand the temporal patterns of those outbreaks...

Lecture 3) Optimal AMP algorithms. Connection with Bayes error. Connection with convex optimization. This is a continuation of the first lecture given on Monday. See here for more details

We study the problem of classifying stationary measures and orbit closures for non-abelian action on surfaces. Using a result of Brown and Rodriguez Hertz, we show that under a certain average growth condition, the orbit closures are either finite or...

Lecture 2) Message passing algorithms and approximate message passing (AMP). Sharp analysis of AMP. This is a continuation of the first lecture given on Monday. See here for more details
