We study the transition probabilities of a class of degenerate diffusions arising as models for gene frequencies in population genetics. The processes we consider are a generalization of the classical Wright-Fisher model, and they are defined through their infinitesimal generator, which is a boundary-degenerate operator defined on compact manifo...

Small single-domain proteins often exhibit only a single free-energybarrier, or transition state, between the denatured and the native state.The folding kinetics of these proteins is usually explored via mutationalanalysis. A central question is which structural information on thetransition state can be derived from the mutational data. To inter...

In this talk, I will present rigorous results on the dynamics of a piecewise affine system of pulse-coupled oscillators with global interaction, inspired by experiments on synchronization in colonies of bacteria-embedded genetic circuits.Due to global coupling, any cluster composed by a group of oscillators in sync is invariant in time. Hence th...

I will explain the concept of transit-time distributions (TTDs) todiagnose passive tracer transport in geophysical fluids, like theEarth's ocean and atmosphere. The TTD is directly related to the Green'sfunction to the advection/diffusion equation for the concentration of adynamically-passive trace substance. Diagnosing and interpreting theTTD, ...

Dynamic models of infectious disease systems are often used to study the epidemiological characteristics of disease outbreaks, the ecological mechanisms and environmental conditions affecting transmission, and the suitability of various mitigation and intervention strategies. In recent years these same models have been employed to generate proba...

Transmission topology optimization (line switching) supports congestion management by routing power flow away from congested / overloaded facilities to the rest of the system which has spare capacity. The result is an increase in transfer capabilities from low-cost resources to demand centers with significant potential for economic and reliabili...

Some recent research progresses on the multi-dimensionalcompressible Euler equations will be reviewed. In particular, thetransonic flows past an obstacle such as an airfoil, and theisometric embeddings in geometry will be discussed. The talk is basedon the joint works with Gui-Qiang Chen and Marshall Slemrod.
