Mean-field games (MFG) is a framework to model and analyze huge populations of interacting agents that play non-cooperative differential games with applications in crowd motion, economics, finance, etc. Additionally, the PDE that arise in MFG have a rich mathematical structure and include those that appear in optimal transportation and density f...

We introduce a random network model in which one can prescribe the frequency of second order edge motifs. We derive effective equations for the activity of spiking neuron models coupled via such networks. A key consequence of the motif-induced edge correlations is that one cannot derive closed equations for average activity of the nodes (the ave...

The benefits of active learning on student performance are well documented. However, in large mathematics classes with active learning components, one challenge is making the most effective use of the limited time any one student may interact with the instructor. I discuss the role educational technology can play in shaping the active learning e...

The estimation the connectivity structure of neuronal networks ishindered by one's inability to simultaneously and individually measurethe activity of all neurons. Many unmeasured neurons could beinteracting with the small set of measured neurons and corruptingestimates of connectivity in unknown ways. For example, a commonconnection from an unm...

We investigate epileptiform activity of excitatory-inhibitory networks that is initiated when inhibitory neurons cease firing due to depolarization block. We identify different transitions to seizure-like activity in a simplified rate model and demonstrate that these transitions do occur in a network of spiking neurons. By incorporating the effe...

The Optimal Transportation problem with quadratic cost can be solved via the elliptic Monge-Ampère Partial Differential Equation (PDE) with nonlocal boundary conditions. Up until now, building numerical solutions for the Monge-Ampère PDE has been a challenge, even with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Indirect methods, such at the fluids reformu...

Deep learning is a hot area, but many of the results are empirical and short-lived. Experts in the area have asked for contributions from mathematics to bring some rigour to the area. In this talk I will describe problems where a mathematical approach has been effective. The problems are: (i) deep model uncertainty, (ii) certified robust models,...
