IAS / School of Science Joint Lecture - Boron Clusters
Abstract
The study of carbon clusters led to the discoveries of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. Are there other elements that can form similar nanostructures? To answer this question, the speaker and his research group have focused on boron clusters, which have been investigated…
Seminar on Applied Mathematics - A moving contact line model on elastic membrane
Young's law is a successful theory in the study of contact angle at the three-phase contact line on a rigid solid substrate. When the solid substrate is soft and deformable, the situation is more complicated. We propose a new mathematical model for the moving contact lines on an elastic membrane.
Joint Seminar - Department of Mathematics and Division of Life Science - Modeling clonal populations in hematopoiesis and T cell dynamics
We develop modeling and analysis approaches for quantifying the in vivo evolution of clonal blood cell populations. A stochastic birth-death-immigration (BDI) model is used to describe experiments that measure hematopoietic stem cell tags and T cell immunotypes.
