Shape optimization plays a central role in engineering andbiological design. However, numerical optimization of complexsystems that involve coupling of fluid mechanics to rigid orflexible bodies can be prohibitively expensive (to implementand/or run). A great deal of insight can often be gained byoptimizing a reduced model such as Reynolds' lubr...

We introduce and develop a theory of limits for sequences of sparse graphs based on L^p graphons, which generalizes both the existing L^ˆž theory of dense graph limits and its extension by Bollobas and Riordan to sparse graphs without dense spots. In doing so, we replace the no dense spots hypothesis with weaker assumptions, which allow us to an...

There has been much recent interest in understanding thedynamics of low-Reynolds-number swimmers near no-slip boundaries and free capillarysurfaces. This talk will presenttheoretical ideas for studying the dynamics of such swimmerswithin the framework ofsimple two dimensional models. The 2D models are developedusing the methods of complex analys...

Collaborative filtering is a popular solution for designing recommendation systems such as that suggesting you which movie to watch on Netflix or which product to buy on Amazon. There are two prominent versions of collaborative filtering algorithm. One, user-user where a user is recommended an item that is liked by other similar users. Two, item...

Most recent results in matrix completion assume that the matrix under consideration is low-rank or that the columns are in a union of low-rank subspaces. In real-world settings, however, the linear structure underlying these models is distorted by a (typically unknown) nonlinear transformation. This presentation will discuss our work that addres...
