- Description:
- To understand the function of neurons, as well as other types of cells in the brain, it is essential to analyze their shape. Perhaps unsurprisingly, topology provides us with tools ideally suited to performing such an analysis. In this talk I will present a selection of the results of a long-standing collaboration with Lida Kanari of the Blue Br...

- Description:
- In this talk I will give an overview of two related projects. The first project concerns the high-degree rational cohomology of the special linear group of a number ring R. Church--Farb--Putman conjectured that, when R is the integers, these cohomology groups vanish in a range close to the virtual cohomological dimension. The groups SL_n(R) sati...

Instead of selecting elements of the data set, the witnesses are generated using quadratic programming, and the shifted Voronoi diagram (aka the power diagram)...

- The Metropolis Algorithm is an extremely useful and popular method of approximately sampling from complicated probability distributions. "Adaptive" versions automatically modify the algorithm while it runs, to improve its performance on the fly, but at the risk of destroying the Markov chain properties necessary for the algorithm to be valid. I...

- Description:
- 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...

Admitting the times you don't know how your work can help and introducing your work when it may be able to help - that timing can be hard. I went from the field I was trained in...
