100 Years of Student Drawings Celebrating the reopening of Northrop Hall and the Centennial of the School of Architecture, the exhibition 100 Years of Student Drawings displays drawings from the Beaux-Arts era through the digital age, showing a range of building types, media, and individual expression, including two drawings by two Monuments Men...
This is an introduction to the lectures and the tutorials. We will study different topics, differential geometric topic using analysis for the lectures and topological topics with numerical experiments for the tutorials. A survey for the knot energies will also be given.

From the Underworld to the Summit: Promotion and Reception of 20th Century Archaeological Finds in Mexico's Chapultepec. Chapultepec Forest has long been an important symbolic and material site for Mexico. Many groups have made claims largely based upon natural resources and recreation. Still, the Forest's historical events, with the growing imp...

Tuhin Sahai: Dynamical Systems and Continous Approximations for NP-hard Problems In this talk, we will explore the use of dynamical systems for approximating the solutions of NP-hard problems that arise in a wide variety of Industrial settings. In particular, we will investigate the use of dynamical systems for clustering networks and performing...

Viktoria Averina: Algorithm Development for Medical DevicesImplantable cardiac devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators can track and analyze patient's physiological data. I will showcase key steps of research and development of device-based respiratory monitoring: how one measures patient's respiratory function, why one would want to track...

What new things can we make from 2D Materials? The possibilities are incredibly varied, from novel quantum systems to functional nanoscale machines. In this talk, I'll discuss three things we've built: a tunable 2D exciton, a thermal guitar, and a new class of self-folding origami devices.

We begin with the generalization of electrostatic energy of charged knots, where we come across the difficulty of divergent integrals. Two kinds of regularization will be introduced, Hadamard regularization and the regularization via analytic continuation, both from the theory of generalized functions.

Developing a Three-dimensional Body Satisfaction Intervention. The 3-Dimensional Body Satisfaction project developed and tested a body-satisfaction intervention tool for young women. The basic make-up of the tool is a montage of 3-dimensional body scan images of young women with normal BMIs representing a full range of body sizes and shapes. The...

Given a near-perfect X-ray source, such as a synchrotron, then what are the reasonable options for image reconstruction? Back-projection reconstruction has dominated, with lambda tomography not receiving the attention it deserves. Give the computation power a the beamline, is it reasonable to perform both reconstructions so as to discern object ...

I shall talk about building 3D models from image sequences, and inparticular about rendering new views of existing sequences in orderto create stereoscopic 3D from monocular footage. I shall show howexisting strategies for image-based rendering can be augmented usingimage-based priors to create realistic 3D views. In addition I willtalk about th...

3D optical elements modulate light through interaction with an entirevolume of variable refractive index (as opposed to a sequence of surfacesused in traditional optics.) One commonly used form of 3D optics isgradient-index (GRIN) where the modulation is base-band. Instead, we haveemphasized use of modulations on a spatial carrier (grating.) We ...

We will see that Hadamard regularization and the regularization via analytic continuation give essentially the same information. This part is rather technical, although it will save complicated computation afterward.

We apply the regularization via analytic continuation to generalized Riesz energies of submanifolds in Euclidean spaces to obtain Brylinski's beta function, which is a meromorphic function with simple poles. We study geometric information that can be derived from Brylinski's beta function.

Hilbert bases, Graver bases and toric Gröbner bases are at the heart of many problems arising in mathematics or in practice. In this talk we present the main functionality and the algorithmic theory behind the software package 4ti2. Furthermore, we present applications (theoretical and computational) from various mathematical fields such as tori...
