Mathematical Biology seminar: "Spatio-temporal heterogeneities in a mechano-chemical model of cell migration"
Andreas Buttenschoen (University of British Columbia)
Small GTPases, such as Rac and Rho, are well known central regulators of cell morphology and motility, whose dynamics also play a role in coordinating collective cell migration. Experiments have shown…
High Energy Experiment Seminar: Track-triggering at CMS for the High-Luminosity LHC
Louise Skinnari (Northeastern University)
The high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scheduled for 2025-2027, will significantly increase the instantaneous luminosity of the LHC collisions. The resulting large proton-proton…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Exploiting the Singh Center’s Nanoscale Characterization Facility in Condensed Matter Research"
Eric Stach (University of Pennsylvania)
Over the past several years, there have been significant investments in instrumentation for electron and ion microscopy in the Singh Center. I spoke to this group in the Fall of 2017, outlining what were then ‘plans…
Astronomy Seminar: Assembly bias of cosmic neutral hydrogen with neural networks and symbolic regression
Jay Wadekar (NYU)
Hydrodynamic simulations have a huge computational cost (~10 million CPU hours for 0.001 Gpc^3 volume), and cannot therefore be directly used in predictions for upcoming cosmological surveys which…
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Multiscale inference and modeling of cell fate via single-cell data"
Qing Nie (University of California, Irvine)
Cells make fate decisions in response to dynamic environmental and pathological stimuli as well as cell-to-cell communications. Recent technological breakthroughs have enabled to gather data in…
