Applied Math Seminar – Aijun Song, UA Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Time reversal acoustic communication in the ocean Abstract: The global marine ecosystem is undergoing significant changes due to human activities and natural processes. These changes call for enhanced capabilities to sample and communicate in the oceans. With this background, underwater acoustic communication has attracted much attention across multiple disciplines, as this key subsea technology

Algebra/Topology Seminar – Elena Pavelescu, University of South Alabama

302 Gordon Palmer Hall

Title: Complete minors of self-complementary graphs. Abstract: A self-complementary graph on n vertices is a graph which is isomorphic to its graph complement within K_n,  the complete graph on n vertices.  These graphs have a high degree of structure, and yet they are far from trivial. This talk focuses on minors of self-complementary graphs. Minors

Applied Math Seminar – Lin Mu, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: A Priori and a posteriori error estimate for weak Galerkin finite element method on polygonal meshes Abstract:  Polygonal mesh has advantages including lower DOFs requirement for the same level of accuracy and more flexibility in generating mesh, and better mesh quality over standard discretization with quad mesh or triangular mesh. Also the hanging nodes

Analysis Seminar – Eduard Roure Perdices, Universidad de Barcelona

227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Weighted restricted weak type inequalities Abstract: We review classical results concerning the bounds of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator on weighted Lorentz spaces and discuss the analogous bounds for the pointwise product of such operators. A new Hölder-type inequality for Lorentz spaces is used.

Colloquium – Xiaoming Huo, Georgia Institute of Technology

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Statistically and Numerically Efficient Independence Test The big data is a well-known phenomenon in the modern world. The emerging discipline of data science has inspired a lot of discussion and debate in the scientific research communities, including the mathematical and statistical science community. Contributing to this discussion, in the first part of this talk,

AWM – Toyin Ali, University of Georgia

226 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: "How and when to apply for a job in academia" Abstract: An overview of the job application process for a graduate student applying for a job in academia.  I will discuss CVs, teaching statements, and cover letters as well as give tips and tricks for standing out to a search committee among hundreds of

Analysis Seminar – Hyun Kwon, University of Alabama

227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Cowen-Douglas Operators and the Corona Problem Abstract: I will discuss how the recent method used in solving various form of the corona problem can be used to classify Cowen-Douglas operators up to similarity.

AWM – Fun Math Lunch

Lunch for AWM members to come together, eat, socialize and participate in an interactive math activity .

Applied Math Seminar – Kevin Curtin, UA Department of Geography

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Determining Optimal Police Patrol Areas…and More: a Research Program in Quantitative Human Geography Abstract:  My research program is rooted in the Quantitative Revolution in Geography that began in the 1950s, and that has culminated in the broad acceptance and use of Geographic Information Systems. More specifically, my research lies in the use of quantitative methods
