Graduate Recruiting Expo 2016
302 Gordon Palmer HallAs 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

302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Phantom Traffic Jams, Autonomous Vehicles, and the Future of Traffic Modelling Abstract: Initially homogeneous vehicular traffic flow can become inhomogeneous even in the absence of obstacles. In this "phantom traffic jam'' phenomenon, small perturbations grow into traffic waves, called “jamitons”. Via the mathematical analysis of traffic models, we demonstrate that phantom jams can arise from
Colloquium – Ricardo Cortez, Tulane University
302 Gordon Palmer HallMathematical and Computational Modeling of Microorganism Swimming Motions Microscopic swimmers like bacteria and spermatozoa live in highly viscous environments. Their locomotion and the fluid flows they generate around them have been actively investigated for the last 60 years motivated by questions about effective locomotion strategies, the organism's interaction with the surrounding environment, patterns of collective
