Securing cyber systems is paramount, but cyber defenders lack evidence-based techniques required to make high-consequence decisions. With lack of principled and rigorous measurements and models, cyber defenders resort to heuristics and expert intuitions. Cyber experimentation is commonly used in security, and we approach this problem as a new ...

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an imaging method wherein a solution containing biological macromolecules is frozen in a thin layer of ice and imaged in a transmission electron microscope. The resulting tomographic projections are then assembled into density maps depicting the 3D structure of the molecule. While many molecules can be ...

Consider a particular quantitative trait, and suppose we want to discover a function that maps how n participating genes (or even environmental influences) interact to express the trait. Under plausible assumptions of how they evolved, certain traits can be viewed as “smooth” functions on the n-dimensional Boolean lattice of possibl...

3D printing and design allows us to physically experience complex mathematical objects. In this talk we’ll take a 3D-printed tour of mathematical knots, tessellations, fractals, and polyhedra. Using code and generative design we can create parametric models that leverage randomness to achieve structural variety or even organic-looking behavior. ...

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...

Modern Machine Learning (ML) represents everything as vectors, from documents, to videos, to user behavior. This representation makes it possible to accurately search, retrieve, rank, and classify different items by similarity and relevance. Running real-time applications that rely on large numbers of such high dimensional vectors requires a ded...
