Going from a scientific background into something that people haven't done comes with moments where you don't know what you're talking about... if you talk, that is. 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...

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. ...

The leading eigenvalue problem of a differential operator arises in many scientific and engineering applications, in particular quantum many-body problems. Due to the curse of dimensionality conventional algorithms become impractical due to the huge computational and memory complexity. In this talk, we will discuss some of our recent works on d...

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 ...
