BC UMSC will take place during the last week of April 2019 at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby Campus). This inaugural event will provide Mathematics and Statistics Undergraduates with an opportunity to showcase their research, expand their learning...

Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is an increasingly popular subject in computational science and engineering, that deals with assessing the impact on the PDE solution of the uncertainty on the coefficients of the same PDE. Coefficients here is a term...

Compressive sensing (CS) is a general paradigm that enables us to measure objects (such as images, signals, or functions) by using a number of linear measurements proportional to their sparsity, i.e. to the minimal amount of information needed to...

The aim of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For three students from...

The stochastic inverse problem of determining probability structures on input parameters for a physics model corresponding to a given probability structure on the output of the model forms the core of scientific inference and engineering design. We...

In this talk we summarize the classification of regular polyhedra and polytopes and extend the concept to that of hypertope: a thin, residually connected incidence geometry. We present the characterization of the automorphism groups of regular...

The abstract grammatical system of a language both shapes and is shaped by the sounds of the particular words that speakers know. I present GLaPL, a computational model which concurrently learns gradient grammar and gradient word representations...

I am working with colleagues on several projects modelling Lithium Ion batteries. Experimental results are fit to simple models of performance and ``State of Health”, a vaguely defined measure of the change of battery characteristics with use and age...

The idea of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For two students from each...

A wide variety of physical and biological systems can be described as continuum limits of interacting particles. Many of these problems are gradient flows and their dynamics are governed by a monotonically decreasing interaction energy that is often...
