Ricardo Perez grew up in Tijuana, Mexico, pursuing and eventually achieving his dream of running a horse track to train horses and to marry and start a family. However, his horse track burned to the ground one day, forcing him and his wife to move in with his wife's family in California, where Ricardo started over his horse training career from ...

Machine learning-driven models have achieved spectacular success in commercial applications such as language translation, speech and face recognition and bioinformatics. The natural question to ask then is: Can we bypass the traditional ways of intuition/hypothesis-driven model creation and instead use data to generate predictions of complex phy...

To improve materials design, it is important to understand the influence ofmicrostructure on the physical properties of a material. Very often, it is the nucleation process that dictates the microstructure. We present some recentjoint works with colleagues at Penn State on the computational studies of criticalnuclei morphology, growth and coarse...

In this talk, we report some recent works on the diffuseinterface models of some interface problems with curvaturedependent interfacial energies such as the Helfrich elasticbending energy for vesicle membranes. We discuss varioustheoretical and computational issues related to the diffuseinterface approach and present some simulation results fort...

We begin the tutorial by introducing a couple of interface problems in various physical and biological applications as motivating examples. We then present some basic ingredients of phase field models and take a special example to illustrate both analytical and computational aspects of the relevantvariational problems and associated gradient dyn...

In this talk and a sequel given by Amarjit Budhiraja we will discuss how variational representations can be used to develop an efficient methodology for large deviations analysis, especially in the infinite dimensional setting. This talk will start by reviewing the use of representations in a simple setting. We then discuss the proof of represen...

Stochastic differential games have been used as models for a wide variety of physical systems. These games are a natural evolution from some stochastic control problems. Two well known methods to find optimal control strategies for a stochastic differential game are solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations which are nonlinear partial differentia...

Fractional Brownian motions (FBMs) denote a family of Gaussian processes indexed by the Hurst parameter H ˆˆ (0, 1) that can be empirically justified as models for noise in many physical systems. While this family includes Brownian motion (H = 1/2), the other Gaussian processes in this family are neither Markov nor semimartingales. Thus many of ...
