Files in large storage systems are either replicated or coded at multiple servers to protect against server failures. Load balancing can be used to exploit this redundancy in storage to reduce mean file-access delay. It is easy to show that at light loads (i.e., when the rate of file access requests is small), coding leads to smaller mean file-a...

This story is about a bust of Lenin, passed on to the narrator by his grandmother, Janaki. She and her husband were doctors and communists in India and influenced the narrator as he grew up. Today, the bust has political and nostalgic significance for the narrator.

Our previous work developed techniques for computing geodesics onshape spaces of planar closed curves, first with and later withoutrestrictions to arc-length parameterizations. Using tangentprincipal component analysis (TPCA), we have imposed probabilitymodels on these spaces and have used them in Bayesian shapeestimation and classification of o...

We propose the notion of cluster superalgebras which is a supersymmetric version of the classical cluster algebras introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky. We show that the symplectic-orthogonal superalgebras SpO(21) and SpO(22) admit cluster superalgebra structures and as a consequence of this, we also deduce that the supercommutative superalgebra g...

This presentation focuses on the structure and energetics of line defects in 2D materials and their impact on microstructures. We employ several approaches in which local bonding information is determined using first principles methods, continuum methods are employed to describing in-plane strain and bending, and microstructures are described wi...

In the first part of these lectures I will present certain, by now classic, results on local and global well-posedness for the NLS via Strichartz estimates.In the second part I will show how one can use randomization of the initial data to prove well-posedness almost surely even when the problem lack enough regularity for a more deterministic ap...

The center theme of this talk is the effect that randomization on the initial data set has on questions of global well-posedness for a variety of evolution equations.I will start by recalling the notion of Gibbs measure for certain periodic dispersive equations in Hamiltonian form, a work that goes back to Lebowitz-Rose-Speer. I will continue wi...

The talk will be divided in two parts. The first part will be devoted to diffraction tomography based on the scalar wave equationto obtain images of the refractive-index distribution of an object embedded in a homogeneous medium, with emphasis on experimentalverifications of this technique in applications using light or ultrasound. The second pa...
