346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: 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

302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: 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.

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: 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,

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTopic: 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
