Title of talk: Â 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. Â The threat of these events has grown not only due to increased population and economic reliance on coastal regions but also due to

Title: Some Applications of Singular Manifold Theory to Applied Mathematics Abstract: Many applications of applied sciences lead to differential equations with various types of singularities, including singularities of the geometry of the underlying space and singularities of the coefficients of the differential equations. The aim of this talk is to introduce the concept of singular manifolds, which can describe various kinds of singularities in a unified way, and then my recent work on the partial differential equation theory over singular manifolds will be presented. I will illustrate by several examples from applied mathematics how to use this theory to treat different types of singularities via a unified approach.

Title: Colored Tri-Plane Diagrams and the Slice-Ribbon Problem Abstract: We study dihedral branched covers of the four-dimensional sphere, where the branching set is a surface with one singularity modeled on the cone on a knot K.  We construct examples of these covers using colored tri-plane diagrams, which are triples of tangles that can be used

Title: Stranger Strings Abstract: How can we describe all spaces of a given dimension? We'll start by describing 2-dimensional spaces, which look like donuts with any number of holes. Then we'll learn how to describe 3-dimensional spaces, by using knots to build portals in our familiar 3-dimensional space R^3.
