  • Mathematical modeling of hemostasis  Hemostasis is the process by which a blood clot forms to prevent bleeding at a site of injury. The formation time, size, and structure of a blood clot depends on the local hemodynamics and the
  • Flavors of Baroclinic Instability in the Global OceanBaroclinic instability is the fundamental mechanism responsible for large-scale and mesoscale motions in rotating, stratified fluids. In Earth's atmosphere, it produces weather systems in
  • Will KleiberThe challenge of creating historical weather products for the United StatesAbstract: Historical gridded weather products are critical components in climate, hydrologic and ecologic applications. A large number of historical
  • Stephen BeckerImaging, Optimization and RandomnessWe will take a look at some of the work going in my research group, including work on super-resolution imaging problems (and their associated ill-conditioned optimization formulations), robust
  • Modeling Arctic Sea IceThe pack ice is effected by both thermodynamic and mechanical processes. Thermodynamic processes result in mass changes at the atmosphere and ocean boundaries.  These processes are coupled with mechanical properties that
  • The Hunt for the Swamp Monster There is a criminal on the loose in Tensorland. As innocent tensor approximation programs go about their work, sometimes they get ``swamped''. A swamped program has to work for many iterations without making
  • What Partial Differential Equations Can Teach Us About Social Behavior and Movement of Populations Models based on partial differential equations have been used extensively to describe fundamental and ubiquitous phenomena in several areas of ecology
  • Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Synthetic Microbial ConsortiaModeling is essential in the design of genetic circuits with desired properties. I will review several examples where mathematical models have been central to the  development and
  • Decisions depend on the reward at stake and the effort required.  However, these same variables influence the vigor of the ensuing movement, suggesting that factors that affect evaluation of action also influence performance of the selected
  • Waveform Design for Radar Detection and Imaging This talk addresses 3 related questions:1) What is the best space-time waveform to transmit for detecting the presence of a weakly scattering object in free space?2) What is the best waveform to use to
