Given a sample of random vectors drawn from the standard Gaussian distribution, there is a variety of associated random convex sets. For instance, taking the convex hull of the vectors gives rise to a Gaussian random polytope. Recently, techniques...

This talk explores the larger implications of visual analytics-- "the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces"-- for cognitive science and informatics. I will argue that the methods that will advance this new...

This introductory talk will use the combinatorial nature of polyhedral cone decompositions to give a concrete construction of toric varieties. This concrete description, along with the fact that they are natural generalizations of projective...

In this talk we will give a non-singular compactification of Hilbert modular surfaces by constructing a particular toric variety for each cusp. Other than the familiar compactification of modular curves this illustrative example is the simplest case...

The past decades have witnessed a steady increase of worldwide crude oil demand, which, in return resulted in new developments in hydrocarbon exploration and geophysical inversion methods. However a variety of issues in seismic inversion still remain...

I will discuss the general notions in the local Langlands correspondence for real groups and describe an analogue for p-adic groups.
