Adding a Third Normal to CLUBB Mr. Sven Bergmann University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee The Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals (CLUBB) model uses the sum of two normal probability density function (pdf) components to represent subgrid variability within a single grid layer …
Mathematics around the Heisenberg Group Prof. Roger Howe Professor Emeritus Yale University In the mid 1920s, Werner Heisenberg formulated the CCR – canonical commutation relations – describing the relationship between the operations of measuring position and of measuring momentum of …
Mathematical Modeling of Cell Volume Control and Electrolyte Balance Prof. Yoichiro Mori Professor of Mathematics University of Pennsylvania Electrolyte and cell volume regulation is essential in physiological systems. Biophysical modeling in this area, however, has been relatively sparse. After a …
The Mathematics of Chip-Firing Caroline Klivans Professor of Applied Mathematics, Deputy Director of ICERM Brown University Chip-firing processes are discrete dynamical systems. A commodity (chips, sand, dollars) is exchanged between sites of a network according to simple local rules. Although …

The Dynamical view of Free-by-Cyclic Groups Dr. Jean Pierre Mutanguha Instructor Princeton Free-by-cyclic groups can be defined as mapping tori of free group automorphisms. I will discuss various dynamical properties of automorphisms that turn out to be group invariants of …
A Mechanochemical Model of Cell Migration in Confined Environments Dr. Emmanuel Asante-Asamani Assistant Professor of Mathematics Clarkson University Eukaryotic cells can move in confined environments by using pressure driven protrusions of their cell membrane, a motility mechanism known as blebbing. …
Combinatorial Resolutions of Monomial Ideals Dr. Selvi Kara Assistant Professor of Mathematics Bryn Mawr College One of the central problems in commutative algebra concerns understanding the structure of an ideal in a polynomial ring. Abstractly, an ideal’s structure can be …
