Modern nanoelectromechanical devices are used in a broad range of applications, including sensors for mass detection and imaging with atomic resolution, monitoring of biological processes such as DNA hybridization, and mass spectrometry at the molecular scale. These nanoscale devices are frequently operated in a fluid environment - both gas and ...

The evaporation of a liquid droplet on a solid substrate is a ubiquitous physical phenomenon. In a vast variety of real-life situations spherical drops are the exception rather than the rule, yet the intricacy of the physical mechanisms involved has constrained the study of this problem to spherical configurations. In this talk, we revisit miles...

Many diseases are complex heterogeneous conditions that affect multiple organs in the body and depend on the interplay between several factors that include molecular and environmental factors, thus requiring a holistic approach in understanding the complexity and heterogeneity. In this talk, I will present some of our current statistical and ma...

In many scientific areas, a deterministic model (e.g., a differential equation) is equipped with parameters. In practice, these parameters might be uncertain or noisy, and so an honest model should provide a statistical description of the quantity of interest. Underlying this computational question is a fundamental one - If two "similar" functio...
