IAS / School of Science Joint Lecture - Use of Large Animal Models to Investigate Brain Diseases
Abstract Genetically modified animal models have been extensively used to investigate the pathogenesis of age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer (AD), Parkinson (PD), Huntington (HD) diseases, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The common feature of these diseases…

Department of Mathematics - Hong Kong - Singapore joint Seminar Series
in Financial Mathematics/Engineering - A coupling approach to the turnpike phenomenon in stochasticcontrol and McKean-Vlasov control
Coupling methods provide a powerful toolbox for the quantitative analysis of the long-time behaviour of Markov processes. In particular, coupling by reflection allows to establish sharp exponential convergence results in

Department of Mathematics - Hong Kong-Singapore joint Seminar Series in Financial Mathematics/Engineering - Non–regular McKean–Vlasov equations and calibration problem in local stochastic volatility models
In this talk, motivated by the calibration problem in local stochastic volatility models, we will investigate some McKean-Vlasov equations beyond the usual requirement of continuity of the coefficients in the measure variable for the Wasserstein topology.
