Title: Phase field method for geometric moving interface problems and their numerical approximations Abstract:  In this talk I shall first give a brief introduction to the phase field method for general geometric moving interface problems. The focus will be on presenting its idea, formulation,and relationship to other methods for moving interface problems such as the

Title: Mathematical AI for drug discovery Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally changed the landscape of science, technology, industry, and social media in the past few years. It holds a great future for discovering new drugs significantly faster and cheaper. However, AI-based drug discovery encounters obstacles arising from the structural complexity of protein-drug interactions and

TITLE:  Products of characters of the symmetric group ABSTRACT:  One of the main open problems in combinatorial representation theory of the symmetric group is to obtain a combinatorial interpretation for what are known as the Kronecker coefficients.  The Kronecker coefficients are obtained when we decompose the tensor product of two irreducible representations of the symmetric

Title: Maximizing the probability of visiting a set infinitely often for a countable state space Markov decision process Abstract: This is a joint work with Tomas Prieto-Rumeau. In this talk, we consider a Markov decision process with countable state space and Borel action space. We are interested in maximizing the probability that the controlled Markov

Title: Bound-Preserving and Phase-wise Conservative Schemes for Incompressible Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media with Multiple Capillary Pressure Functions Abstract: Two or multiple phases commonly occur as fluid mixture in petroleum industry, where oil, gas and water are often produced and transported together. As a result, petroleum reservoir engineers spent great efforts in the development and
