In this talk I will discuss joint work with Clifton Cunningham, Ahamed Moussaui, James Mracek and Bin Xu. I will begin by giving a brief overview of the (conjectural) Langlands Correspondence, focusing in particular on Vogan's geometric reformulation...

The dynamics of the T immune cell membrane and the motion of its surface-bound receptors can be analyzed using a sophisticated microscopy technique called Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (TIRF), where receptors can be tagged with...

Project Jupyter, evolved from the IPython environment, provides a platform for interactive computing that is widely used today in research, education, journalism and industry. The core premise of the Jupyter architecture is to design tools around the...

Reduced ideals of a number field F have inverses of small norms and they form a finite and regularly distributed set in the infrastructure of F. Therefore, they can be used to compute the regulator and the class number of a number field. One usually...

The run-and-tumble motion of bacteria such as E. Coli can be represented by a kinetic equation considered with an hyperbolic scaling, and a Hopf-Cole transformation that makes the problem become non-linear. It has been proved that the asymptotic...

In this talk, I will first introduce the Monge-Ampere eigenvalue problem on general bounded convex domains and related analysis including the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the eigenvalue. Then I will discuss the recent resolution, in joint work with...

In the past five years biotechnological innovations have enabled the measurement of transcriptome-wide gene expression in single-cells. However, the destructive nature of the measurement process precludes genuine time-series analysis of e.g...

Skeletal muscle are complex living tissues that can undergo large deformations in short periods of time. Also, it is known that small volumetric changes can occur during contraction. In this presentation we introduce a dynamic nonlinear elastic...

Molecular crowding has recognized consequences for biological function. However, there are also circumstances in which un-crowding is important that is, when molecules must evacuate from a region before a given process can occur. One example is...
