This photograph is part of a series created by Hugo Skrastins documenting his voyage from Bremerhaven in Germany to New York City aboard a displaced persons transport ship in 1950. Hugo Skrastins spent the previous years in the Displaced Persons camp at Meersbeck, Germany, before he departed from Bremerhaven on July 16, 1950, aboard the USAT Gen...

I will analyze a model for thin film nematics whose salient feature is that one elastic constant is much larger than the others. The goal is to understand how this extreme anisotropy in elastic constants affects the morphology of singular structures emerging in the limit where the width of domain walls and the core of vortices approaches zero. T...

Recently, a rich collection of moire patterns has been observed in graphene deposited over flat crystalline substrates. The primary source of these patterns is the lattice constant mismatch between graphene and the substrate. I will discuss models for the formation of these patterns and related networks of wrinkles in supported graphene and othe...

Jackson was a beloved and respected Fond du Lac Ojibwe medicine man or healer. He referred to himself as an "Indian doctor." At about age thirty-two, Jackson started using his gift to heal people, work he continued to do for over five decades. He saw people from all over the United States and Canada for healing as well as naming ceremonies. Jack...

Increasingly, we face machine learning problems in very highdimensional spaces. We proceed with the intuition that althoughnatural data lives in very high dimensions, they have relatively fewdegrees of freedom. One way to formalize this intuition is to modelthe data as lying on or near a low dimensional manifold embedded inthe high dimensional s...

I will present a new general framework for designing multiscale methods. Compared with previous work such as Brandt's systematic up-scaling, the heterogeneous multiscale method and the "equation-free" approach, this new framework has the distinct feature that it does not require reinitializing the microscale model at each macro time step or each...
