Math-Bio seminar: "Dimensionality reduction in the analysis of human genetics data"

Petros Drineas, Purdue University

Dimensionality reduction algorithms have been widely used for data analysis in numerous application domains including the study of human genetics. For instance, linear dimensionality reduction techniques (such as…

Condensed Matter seminar: "Engineering new materials from old materials"

Cory Dean, Columbia University

Graphene is probably the best known "exfoliatable" material, in which a  two-dimensional sheet of carbons atoms, just one atom thick, can be peeled from a bulk piece of graphite.  However this represents just one of…

Astro Seminar: "Weak Lensing in the Nonlinear Regime"

Jia Liu (Princeton)

Within the next decade, galaxy and CMB lensing datasets of unprecedented precision will come online from large surveys (DES, HSC, LSST, Euclid, WFIRST, AdvACT, SPT-3G, CMB-S4, etc.).

Math-Bio seminar: "Grand challenges in phylogenomics"

Tandy Warnow, University of Illinois

Estimating the Tree of Life will likely involve a two-step procedure, where in the first step trees are estimated on many genes, and then the gene trees are combined into a tree on all the taxa. However, the true…

High Energy Seminar: "TBA"

Mark Mezei (Princeton)

Condensed Matter seminar: "Roughness-induced criticality and the statistical mechanics of turbulence in pipes and soap films"

Nigel Goldenfeld, University of Illinois

Are fluid turbulence and critical phenomena analogous to one another? In this talk, I explain that this connection may be deeper than has been previously thought. Indeed, I argue that one can use these insights to…

Astro Seminar: "Towards Accurate Predictions for the Clustering of Galaxies in Redshift Space"

Emanuele Castorina (Berkeley)

The galaxy distribution across cosmic time contains a wealth of cosmological information. In the era of precision cosmology, galaxy surveys like DES,HSC,DESI,Euclid,LSST and others, would deliver very accurate…

Biomedical & Life Sciences Career Fair

Employers will be on campus during the fair to talk to you about their full-time position, future opportunities, and to answer your questions. This fair is only for PhD students and postdocs, and so they are looking…
