One way to glue objects together at the nanoscale or microscale is by ligand-receptor interactions, in which short, sticky hair-like ligands stick to...

The propagation of internal gravity waves in stratified media (such as those found in ocean basins and lakes) leads to the development of...

Convex-composite optimization concerns the optimization of functions that can be written as the composition of a convex function and a smooth function. Such...

Refreshments at 2:30, preceding the talk.

It is well known that in any ab initio molecular orbital (MO) calculation, the major task involves the...

Budding allows virus replication and macromolecular secretion in cells. It involves the formation of a bud, i.e. an outgrowth from the cell membrane...

This talk will start with an overview of tensor decompositions. For higher-order tensors, there are several generalizations of the matrix rank. I will...

We consider solving ill-posed imaging inverse problems under a generic forward model. Because of the ill-posedness present in such problems, prior models that...

I will present a study (done with Jun Ma of Renmin University of China and Pai Xu of the University of...

In this talk, I will present generalised systems of non-autonomous reaction-diffusion equations posed on growing domains. Under suitable assumptions on the evolution law...

I will discuss new work on practically popular algorithms--including the kernel polynomial method (KPM) and moment matching method--for approximating the spectral Read More

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has come into wide use in the past few years for finding the 3D structure of biomolecules and identifying...

In this talk, I will review some of our ongoing activities around high-fidelity and low-dimensional data-driven modeling of multiphysics interfaces, with a particular...

This talk will provide a panoramic view of the increasingly important role that abstract mathematics — geometry and topology in particular — is...

The lifetime visual exposure of an adult observer contains statistical regularities across a diverse hierarchy of image properties. From canonical retinal sizes and...

State-of-the-art deep neural networks generalize well, despite being exceedingly overparameterized and trained without explicit regularization. Understanding the principles behind this phenomenon —termed benign...

This talk will cover recent work on Bayesian coresets ("core of a dataset"), a methodology for statistical inference via data compression.  Coresets achieve...

In the 1990s, Border proposed  succinct representations of Bayesian auctions in terms of interim allocation rules, describing each agent's allocation in expectation over...

This talk provides a high-level overview of some of my research experiences in the field of optimization. The talk with be largely nontechnical,...

The signal demixing problem seeks to separate the superposition of multiple signals into its constituent components. I will describe a geometric view of...

Identifying causal relationships between random variables from observational data is an important problem in many areas of data science. The presence of hidden variables,...

The mammalian hippocampus, composed of serially connected subfields, participates in a variety of functions involving memory. It has been postulated that parallel circuitry...

Towards a mathematical theory of developmental biology:
Analyzing developmental processes with optimal transport

This talk focuses on estimating temporal couplings of stochastic processes with optimal...

Many popular algorithms in convex optimization exhibit linear convergence behaviour when applied on problems arising from the context of machine learning and signal...

It is well-known that a closed convex set C containing the origin in its interior can be represented as the 1-sublevel set of...

Cutting plane techniques are key to solving large scale optimization problems with mixed-integer variables. Modern approaches to cutting plane theory shows that the...
