Gromov-Hausdorff distance (dGH) is a definition for the discrepancybetween metric spaces. Until recently, it has been applied mainly in theoreticalexploration of metric spaces in metric geometry, as well as in theoreticalcomputer science, specifically, in the context of metric embedding ofgraphs. A couple of years ago it was introduced into the ...

Solving electromagnetics problem is a challenging task, especially when the structure is multi-scale. These structures are often encountered in circuits in electronic packaging, small antenna designs, as well as small sensor designs. A challenging problem in computational electromagnetics is in solving multi-scale problems in the low frequency r...

Multi-fracture propagation is a key capability required for the design of hydraulic fracture treatments in horizontal wells. It is also a key element of natural fracture pattern characterization. In shale, the interaction of hydraulic fractures in natural fractures is often a controlling factor in determining fracture network geometry. Insights ...

Spectral clustering is a computationally feasible and model-free method widely used in the identification of communities in networks. We introduce a data-driven method, which detects change points in the network structure of a multivariate time series, with each component of the time series represented by a node in the network. Spectral clusteri...

Microbiomes are large and complex, requiring analysis of massive quantities of microbial DNA from biological samples. The lack of precise, reproducible, and affordable methods is limiting progress in identifying specific disease and modulatory mechanisms in microbiome research. Unfortunately, clinical microbiome researchers currently must choose...

Vapnik-Chervonenkis theory (VC-theory), aka Statistical Learning Theory, provides a mathematical framework for predictive data-analytic modeling in machine learning, statistics, data mining, signal processing, bioinformatics etc. The VC-theory was developed in the 1970's in the former USSR, but it became widely known only in mid-1990's after int...

In this talk, I focus on the multivariate method of moments for parameter estimation. First from a theoretical standpoint, we show that in problems where the noise is high, the number of observations necessary to estimate parameters is dictated by the moments of the distribution. Second from a computational standpoint, we address the curse of di...

One of the major challenges in neuroscience is to determine how noise that is present at the molecular and cellular levels affects dynamics and information processing at the macroscopic level of synaptically coupled neuronal populations. Often noise is incorporated into deterministic network models using extrinsic noise sources. An alternative a...

Quasi-stationary, or metastable, states play an important role in two-dimensional turbulent fluid flows where they often emerge on time-scalesmuch shorter than the viscous time scale, and then dominate the dynamicsfor very long time intervals. We propose a dynamical systemsexplanation of the metastability of an explicit family of physically rele...
