In this survey talk, I collect a lot of results from discrete and computational geometry, explaining the special role that 'touchings' (tangencies) play in te subject. These questions contributed to the early development of the theory of Davenport-Schinzel sequences, algorithmic motion planning, geometric graph theory, and incidence geometry. We...

Reframing the Access to Medicines Debate: Health as a Global Public Good. In recent decades, the benefits of new medicines and vaccines from pharmaceutical research and development have transformed the health of populations living in developed economies. Yet billions of people living in poverty have not yet benefited from these innovations. Dr. ...

The current trends in processor architecture design are driven by the end of so called era of Dennard scaling in around 2005. Thermal power dissipation issues associated with increasing processor clock frequency has instead led to processors being designed with many compute cores equipped with ever more numerous and wider vector units. The adven...

PhotoAcoustic Tomography (PAT) has become established as a significant imaging modality allowing the qualitative imaging in 3D of absorbed optical energy in the visible and near-infrared range, with high resolution, by exploiting the conversion of optical to acoustic energy and the discontinuity preserving propagation of ultrasound under the ass...

In this talk we present two intimately related approaches in speeding-up molecular simulations via Monte Carlo simulations.First, we discuss coarse-graining algorithms for systems with complex, and often competing particle interactions, both in the equilibrium and non-equilibrium settings, which rely on multilevelsampling and communication. Seco...

A long literature has illustrated the potentially severe consequences of subversion of feedback control within electric power grids, well before Stuxnet brought wide attention to the threat of industrial control system cyber-attacks. The electromechanical dynamics of the power system make it uniquely vulnerable. Power grids typically possess lig...

We survey rigorous, formal, and numerical results on the formation ofpoint-like singularities (or blow-up) for a wide range of evolutionequations. We use a similarity transformation of the original equation withrespect to the blow-up point, such that self-similar behaviour is mapped tothe fixed point of an infinite dimensional dynamical system. ...
