University of AlabamaColloquium – Dr. Lili Ju, University of South Carolina
155 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: A Parallel Computational Model for 3D Thermo-Mechanical Stokes Flow Simulations of Ice Sheets Abstract: In this talk we focuses on the development of an efficient, three-dimensional, thermo-mechanically coupled, nonlinear Stokes flow computational model for ice sheet simulation. The model features stable and high-order accurate discretizations on variable resolution grids. In particular, we employ a
Colloquium – Dr. Chiu-Yen Kao, Claremont McKenna College
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesShape 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.
Pi Mu Epsilon Seminar
302 Gordon Palmer HallDr. Tim Ferguson - Basic Extremal Problems I will talk about extremal problems, which are one of my favorite things to research. These problems involve maximizing or minimizing certain quantities (sort of like optimization in Calculus I). Even though these problems can be difficult to solve and understand, they are often simple to state. I
Academic Continuity Exercise (ACE)
Academic continuity refers to the ability to carry out the daily work of teaching and administrating from a remote location. The Math Department is participating in this exercise today to prepare for situations such as bad weather which could keep faculty, staff and students away from campus. The office will reopen at 8:00 am tomorrow.
