The intertwined processes of platelet deposition and coagulation canlead to the development of blood clots inside a blood vessel or on animplanted medical device. Their disregulation is responsible forimmense morbidity and mortality, particularly in the western world.The development of a blood clot involves complex interactions of diversetype (e...

As graduate students or postdoctoral researchers, we are taught to focuson learning the research that is most closely related to our project sothat we can find the edge of what is known and expand the boundary. Thisis, of course, necessary to complete our research project. However, weoften forget to seek out opportunities to develop skills and e...

Engineering intracellular metabolism has a long history, dated back to the late 1950s. The field has enjoyed significant attention in recent years, particularly because of the energy and environmental concerns. Many success stories have highlighted the feasibility of engineering intracellular metabolism to achieve a designed function. In almost ...

I will report on recent work which proposes that the network dynamicsof the mammalian visual cortex are neither homogeneous nor synchronous buthighly structured and strongly shaped by temporally localized barrages ofexcitatory and inhibitory firing we call `multiple-firing events' (MFEs).Our proposal is based on careful study of a network of spi...

The group lasso is an extension of the popular lasso regression method which allows to select predefined groups of features jointly in the context of regression or supervised classification. I will discuss two extensions of the group lasso, motivated by applications in genomic data analysis. First, I will present a new fast method for multiple c...

Hydrogels can play both passive and active roles in chemical oscillations and pattern formations. Passively, they can provide a nonconvective environment in which reactions occur, or they can respond by swelling or shrinking according changes in the chemical environment, which is time and/or space varying. In recent years, more active feedback c...

An ideally polarizable cation-selective solid particle is suspended in anelectrolyte solution and is exposed to a uniformly applied ambient electricfield. The electrokinetic transport processes are described in a closedmathematical model, consisting of differential equations, representing thephysical balance laws, as well as boundary conditions ...

The study of the interaction between (large) molecules and inorganic (metal) surfaces is a typical multiscale problem. In fact while the specific chemistry emergesat the quantum scale with the interaction of the electrons of the surface with the valenceelectrons of the molecule, the molecular conformations are instead the expression of a large s...

Geophysical hazards such as tsunamis, storm surges, debris flows, and landslides pose a significant risk to a large fraction of the world's population. Mathematical models and computer simulations of these hazards are critical in developing a better understanding of past events, both recent and pre-historic. They are also used to assess hazards,...

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a central signal transduction pathway in epithelial cells and regulates diverse biological responses such as proliferation, migration and differentiation. Ligands for the EGFR, such as amphiregulin and TGFa are synthesized as membrane-anchored precursors and released by regulated proteolysis, leadin...

QR-codes are two-dimensional barcodes which gained popularity in recent years. These codes enable people to scan them using conventional cell-phone camera, and then get directed to appropriate web-site, or retrieve other information. Another place you often encounter these QR-codes is in boarding-tickets and similar applications, where a convent...
