Engineering intracellular metabolism has a long history, dated back to the late 1950s. The field has enjoyed significant attention in recent years, particularly because of the energy and environmental concerns. Many success stories have highlighted the feasibility of engineering intracellular metabolism to achieve a designed function. In almost ...

Lyapunov exponents play an important role in the study of the behavior of dynamical systems. They measure the average rate of separation of orbits starting from nearby initial points. They are used to describe the local stability of orbits and chaotic behavior of systems. Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem provides the theoretical foundation of Lyap...

Since large scale applications often involve data partitioned across different servers, there is an increasing interest in optimization in the distributed model. We study two distributed algorithms: distributed Frank-Wolfe and distributed PCA. Frank-Wolfe algorithm is suitable for constructing sparse combinations in machine learning. We adopt it...

We discuss how to compute structures, assemblies, and thermodynamicproperties of beta barrel membrane proteins, as well as discovery ofbuilding blocks of this class of protins that might be useful fordesign of membrane proteins of desired conductance. Based on a modelof physical interactions, a discrete state space, and an empiricalpotential fun...
