Braid Groups Alex Heaton University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Dissertator “We will discuss the simplest examples of braid groups and try to figure out how they work.”
Interactions between Microphysical and Dynamical Processes in Supercell Thunderstorms as Revealed through Observations and High-resolution Numerical Simulations Daniel Dawson Purdue University Assistant Professor “During the past few decades, two major developments in meteorology have revolutionized our understanding of supercell thunderstorms:...

A Unified Proof For The Convergence Of Jacobi And Gauss-Seidel Methods Zhen Chao University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Fellow “We introduce a unified proof for the convergence of both the Jacobi and the Gauss–Seidel methods for solving systems... Read More
Stability Analysis for the Equilibria of a Monkeypox Model Rachel Elizabeth TeWinkel University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student - Dissertator “Monkeypox virus was first identified in 1958 and has since been an ongoing problem in Central and Western Africa. Although... Read More
Large Scale Geometry of Surfaces in 3-Manifolds Hoang Nguyen University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Dissertator “A compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold M with empty or toroidal boundary is called geometric if its interior admits a geometric structure in the... Read More
Boundaries of Generalized Baumslag-Solitar Groups Dr. Molly Moran Colorado College Assistant Professor of Mathematics “In Geometric Group Theory, we seek to understand algebraic properties of finitely generated groups by examining the topological and geometric properties of spaces that the group...

Graded Multiplicity in Harmonic Polynomials from the Vinberg Setting Alexander Heaton University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Dissertator "We consider a family of examples falling into the following context (first considered by Vinberg): Let G be a connected reductive... Read More
Godel’s Incompleteness Theorems John Byrum University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Teaching Assistant “The concepts and proofs for some of Godel’s work will be explored. Common consistent axiomatic systems contain statements which are true but are not provable.”
Modeling Cancer Treatment with Oncolytic Viruses Combined with Dendritic Cell Injections Dr. Joanna Wares University of Richmond Associate Professor of Mathematics “Oncolytic viruses kill tumor cells by selectively replicating inside of them until they lyse. Recently, OVs have been enhanced... Read More
Solving the Basel Problem using the Poisson Summation Formula Preston Walker University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Graduate Student – Teaching Assistant “We learn that series like these converge in Calculus, but not what it equals. In this talk we will discuss... Read More
