ZoomTitle: Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Multicellular Aggregate Self-Assembly in Biofabrication Abstract: We present a three-dimensional lattice model to study self-assembly and fusion of multicellular aggregate systems by using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. This model is developed to describe and predict the time evolution of postprinting morphological structure formation during tissue or organ maturation in
Applied Math Seminar – Yuanzhen Shao (University of Alabama)
ZoomTitle: Variations of the sharp interfaces in multiphase problems - Part IV Abstract: In the first part of the talk, we will show the existence of a minimizer for a minimal surface problem with prescribed mean curvature and obstacle. In the second part, we will focus on the question whether the minimizing surface enjoys enough

ZoomTitle: Variations of the sharp interfaces in multiphase problems - Part V Abstract: We will conitnue with the discussion on the regularity of a minimal surface with prescribed mean curvature and obstacle. The problem leads to a variational inequality. Then we will use a result by Breiz and Kinderlehrer to show that the minimizing surface

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesApplied Math Seminar Date: Friday September 16 Time: 11:00am-11:50am Location: GP 346 Speaker: Shibin Dai (Department of Mathematics, The University of Alabama) Title: Degenerate diffusion and interface motion of single layer and bilayer structures Abstract: Degenerate diffusion plays an important role in the interface motion of complex structures. The degenerate Cahn-Hilliard equation is a widely used model for
Applied Math Seminar – Teresa Portone, Sandia National Laboratories
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Quantifying model-form uncertainty with an application to subsurface transport Abstract: Computational models are increasingly used to make predictions affecting high-consequence engineering design and policy decisions. However, incomplete information about the represented phenomena and limitations in computational resources require approximations and simplifications that can lead to uncertainties in the computational models’ forms and errors in

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Yalchin Efendiev (Department of Mathematics and Institute for Scientific Computation, Texas A&M University) Title: Multicontinuum homogenization and applications Abstract: In this talk, I will talk about general approaches for multiscale modeling (closely related to porous media applications). I will mainly focus on numerical approaches, where multiscale finite element basis functions are constructed and used in
Applied Math Seminar- Professor Lynn Schryer
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Lynn Schreyer (Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Washington State University) Title: Compartment Models with Memory Abstract: The beauty and simplicity of compartment modeling makes it a useful approach for simulating dynamics in an amazingly wide range of applications, including pharmacokinetics (where e.g. a liver is considered a compartment), global carbon cycling (different depths of soils
Applied Math Seminar by Professor Patrick Guidotti (University of California).
Speaker: Patrick Guidotti (Department of Mathematics, University of California, Irvine) Title: Connecting the dots Abstract: We revisit the well-known kernel method of interpolation and, by taking a slightly unusual point view, show how it can be used (and modified in a natural way) for the purpose of gaining insight into the (geometric) structure of scattered data
Applied Math Seminar: Jiuyi Zhu (Louisiana State University)
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesSpeaker: Jiuyi Zhu (Department of Mathematics, Louisiana State University) Title: Bounds of nodal sets of eigenfunctions Abstract: Motivated by Yau's conjecture, the study of the measure (sizes) of nodal sets (zero-level sets) of eigenfunctions has been attracting much attention. We investigate the nodal sets of Steklov eigenfunctions, Neumann eigenfunctions, and Dirichlet eigenfunctions in the domain
