Differential equations (DEs) are widely used to model complex dynamical systems in many areas including neuroscience, biology, medicine, genetics, ecology, engineering, physics, and finance. While parameters in DEs usually have scientific...

Aggregation is an ubiquitous natural phenomenon that pervades both the animal world and many inanimate physical systems. In the animal kingdom, group formation is observed across all levels from bacterial colonies and insect swarms to complex...

The SFU-UBC Joint Graduate Student Workshop in Statistics is going into its 11th year. This is the first of two seminars to take place this school year; the one in Fall is organized by graduate students from SFU and the one in Spring is organized by...

The mechanical properties of vertebrate bone are determined by its structure, which in turn depends on the outcome of the process of bone turnover. At any time of our life, asynchronously, at multiple sites in the skeleton, the bone tissue is...

Cholera is a severe water-borne disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. In this talk, I will present some recent development of cholera epidemics. Particularly, I will talk about endemic stability, cholera traveling waves and disease...

Recently, the biochemical pathways regulating the flagellar motors were uncovered. This knowledge gave rise to a class of kinetic-transport equations, that takes into account an intra-cellular molecular content and which relates the tumbling...

In the 70's, Tutte developed a clever algebraic approach, based on certain "invariants," to solve a functional equation that arises in the enumeration of properly coloured triangulations. The enumeration of plane lattice walks confined to the first...

Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain, $K$ the fraction field of $A$, and $f\in A[x]$ a monic irreducible separable polynomial. Denote by $\theta\in K^{\mathrm{sep}}$ a root of $f$ and let $F=K(\theta)$ be the finite separable extension of $K$ generated by $...

This workshop will bring together statistical and health researchers to discuss statistical issues arising in the use of administrative databases for health research. The speakers will present challenges arising in practice, share recent progress and...
