Shape Optimization Problems Involving Eigenvalues and Their Applications Since Lord Rayleigh conjectured that the disk should minimize the first Laplace-Dirichlet eigenvalue among all shapes of equal area more than a century ago, eigenvalue optimization problems have been active research topics with applications in various areas including mechanical vibration, electromagnetic cavities, photonic crystals, and population dynamics.

Building Large Economic and Financial Networks “The study of high dimensional networks has increased dramatically. Group wise information from large datasets can be used to build networks where nodes represent variables and edges represent the conditional dependency between two variables. Economic policy makers can use these networks to measure impulse responses and determine how an

As part of the Graduate Recruiting Expo, faculty members will give overview talks about their current research.  These talks will be accessible to advanced undergraduates as well as graduate students.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about some (though not all!) of the research being done in the department.  Graduate students who have not
