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

Applied Math Seminar – Kyle Mandli (Columbia University)

Title of talk:  Computational Challenges to Prediction and Mitigation of Coastal Hazards Abstract: Coastal flooding due to severe storms is one of the most widespread and damaging hazards faced around the world.  The threat of these events has grown not only due to increased population and economic reliance on coastal regions but also due to

Applied Math Seminar – Vishesh Vikas (University of Alabama)

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Title: Applied Mathematics for Soft Robotics Abstract: Soft materials are a bulk or composite collection of matter that undergoes deformations of similar or greater magnitude than the deformation of the environment, either plastically or elastically, within the force regime applied by its environment. For roboticists, soft materials can withstand impacts, are elastic and highly deformable,

Colloquium – Maria Laura delle Monache (Inria Grenoble – Rhône Alpes)

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

Topic:  Control of traffic flow: from ramp metering to autonomous vehicles Abstract: In this talk, we will consider different control frameworks for traffic flow. In particular, we will show the evolution of traffic control from classical strategies (for example ramp-metering) to more modern approaches using autonomous vehicles. We will introduce different ways to describe mathematically

Applied Math Seminar – Dang Nguyen, University of Alabama

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

Title: A Multi-scale Approach to  Limit Cycles with Random Perturbations Involving Fast Switching and Small Diffusion Abstract: This talk is devoted to multi-scale stochastic systems. The motivation is to treat limit cycles under random perturbations involving fast  random switching and small diffusion, which are represented by the use of two small parameters. Associated with the

Applied Math Seminar – Haomin Zhou, Georgia Institute of Technology

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

Title: Optimal Transport on Finite Graphs with Applications Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the optimal transport theory on discrete spaces. Various recent developments related to free energy, Fokker-Planck equations, as well as Wasserstein distance on graphs will be presented, some of them are rather surprising. Applications in game theory and robotics will be

Applied Math Seminar – Shan Zhao, University of Alabama

302 Gordon Palmer Hall

Title: An overview of numerical algorithms for the Poisson-Boltzmann equation in biomolecular electrostatics Abstract: The Poisson-Boltzmann Equation (PBE) is a widely used implicit solvent model for the electrostatic analysis of solvated biomolecules. The numerical solution of the PBE is known to be challenging, due to the consideration of discontinuous coefficients, complex geometry of protein structures,
