Magnetic nanoparticles that are responsive to clinically safe magnetic fields offer multi-modal nanomedicine capabilities. To succeed, complexities of physics and engineering must be addressed to match physical and magnetic properties […]
Online bipartite matching is one of the most fundamental problems in the online algorithms literature. Karp, Vazirani, and Vazirani (STOC 1990) gave an elegant algorithm for unweighted bipartite matching that […]
*This seminar will be held in-person ONLY in Levine 307. The seminar will NOT be recorded. ABSTRACT The talk aims to present the Czech Technical University in Prague as a […]
ABSTRACT: Shapley values and similar methods are widely used to explain the importance of features in model predictions. Clarity in the semantics of these feature importances is subtle, but crucial: […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT I’ll discuss reinforcement learning in two-player zero-sum games. Historically, this area has lacked […]
One of the most intriguing outcomes of casting our thinking about the world around us in mathematical terms is that phenomena that were thought to be quite distinct are instead […]
Recent development of computational fluid mechanics allows to simulate wide range of fluid mechanics problems, but it requires appropriate constitutive equations and rheological properties to represent behavior of complex fluid […]
Silicon has been the dominant material for electronic computing for decades and very likely will stay dominant for the foreseeable future. However, it is well-known that Moore’s law that propelled […]
Despite considerable advancements in recent years, legged robots still fall short in terms of agility when compared to their animal counterparts. This thesis takes a two pronged approach to creating […]
Molecular heterogeneity is emerging as a critical feature of multicellular life. While single-cell analyses have revealed the existence of cell-to-cell variation in the levels and activities of the molecules responsible for gene regulation, the source of such variation is still poorly understood. The Downing Lab […]
