CANCELED - CAM Colloquium: Konstantina Trivisa (UMD) - Patterns in Fluids and Materials: On the dynamics of ferrofluids and polymers
Abstract: Ferrofluids are stable colloidal dispersions of nano-sized particles of ferro- or ferrimagnetic particles in a carrier liquid. A crucial property of ferrofluids is that they can be actuated... Read more
RESCHEDULED FOR OCT 2 - CAM Colloquium: Jasper Weinburd (Harvey Mudd College) - Emergent patterns in locust hopper bands using agent-based and continuous models
Abstract: Locusts are devastating pests that infest and destroy crops in regions of the world already afflicted by drought and food shortage. Hopper bands are groups of locusts composed of flightless... Read more

TENTATIVELY CANCELED (to be updated in April): CAM Colloquium: Johan Ugander (Stanford University) - Discrete choice with irrelevant alternatives: models and lower bounds on testing
Abstract: Many applications in preference learning assume that decisions come from the maximization of a stable utility function. Yet a large experimental literature shows that individual choices and... Read more

CAM Colloquium: Anna Vainchtein (University of Pittsburgh) - Traveling waves in lattices
Abstract: The interplay of spatial discreteness and nonlinearity in many physical and biological systems often results in formation of traveling waves. Such solutions of lattice dynamical systems can... Read more
