SUMMARY:PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. Joe Paulson
DESCRIPTION:Theory of Z_n – Structures\nMr. Joe Paulson\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIn this defense\, we discuss the boundaries of Type F_n groups; those being groups whose K(G\,1) complex has a finite n-skeleton. The boundaries we develop extend the notion of Z-boundaries to what we call Z_n-boundaries. This extension centers around groups no longer acting geometrically on contractible spaces\, but instead n-connected spaces. Immediately this means the major theorems of “Boundary Swapping” and “Shape Equivalence of Z-Boundaries” will need revision\, but a more subtle point to be discussed is that the category of spaces must also be generalized. \nAfter discussing the foundation work for a theory of Z_n-boundaries\, we end with an exploration how these new structures can be related to other well-known compactifications such as the one-point compactification\, end-point compactification\, and Z-compactifications. \nAdvisor:\nCraig Guilbault \nCommittee Members:\nBoris Okun\, Chris Hruska\, Jonah Gaster\, and Pamela Harris

SUMMARY:PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. Shenyan Pan
DESCRIPTION:Doubly Stochastic Model With Covariates For Replicated Poisson Point Processes\nMr. Shenyan Pan\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nPoisson point processes (PPPs) are powerful tools for modeling random point occurrences in multidimensional spaces\, with applications across various fields. Although the traditional literature has focused on single realizations\, replicated point processes are becoming increasingly common due to the growing availability of complex data. This dissertation develops a doubly stochastic model for replicated PPPs that incorporates covariates\, extending latent component models to capture external effects. The proposed model expresses the log-intensity function as the sum of a mean function and latent component scores that vary with covariates. To ensure identifiability\, component scores are constrained to be zero-mean and uncorrelated via centering and orthogonality. Parameter estimation is performed using penalized maximum likelihood\, employing Newton–Raphson updates and the Laplace approximation for conditional distributions. Simulation studies assess the model’s stability across various covariate structures (linear and nonlinear)\, baseline rates\, and sample sizes. The results demonstrate decreasing error with increasing sample size\, confirming the estimators’ consistency. The model is applied to real data from the Divvy bicycle-sharing system in Chicago\, analyzing daily usage at a representative station. The results reveal a nonlinear relationship between temperature and ridership\, with peak usage occurring at moderate temperatures and declines observed under extreme heat or cold. This modeling framework improves the interpretability and predictive accuracy of PPPs with covariates\, offering practical insights for applications such as fleet allocation in bicycle-sharing systems. \nAdvisor:\nProf. Daniel Gervini \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Lei Wang\, Prof. Chao Zhu\, Prof. David Spade\, and Prof. Vytaras Brazauskas \nLink to Event

SUMMARY:PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. Marco Vaassen
DESCRIPTION:A Bootstrap Goodness-of-Fit Test for Parametric Survival Models\nMr. Marco Vaassen\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIn many scientific disciplines\, finding a suitable model compatible with real-world observations is the basis for statistical inference and prediction. In survival analysis\, this task is further complicated by censoring. This dissertation introduces a new bootstrap approach to goodness-of-fit testing for parametric survival models\, based on the Kaplan–Meier process with estimated parameters. The test statistic compares the nonparametric Kaplan–Meier estimator to a fitted parametric model\, quantifying deviations from the null via functionals that yield Kolmogorov–Smirnov or Cramér–von Mises-type tests. We establish the asymptotic correctness of our method by showing that the original and bootstrap test statistics have the same weak limit under the null. The result is a consistent\, easily implementable framework for assessing model fit in censored settings. \nAdvisor:\nProf. Richard Stockbridge\, Prof. Gerhard Dikta \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Richard Stockbridge\, Prof. Gerhard Dikta\, Prof. Chao Zhu\, Prof. David Spade\, and Prof. Vincent Larson

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Kimberly Hadaway
DESCRIPTION:Parking Completions and Volumes of Polytopes\nKimberly Hadaway\nGraduate Student\nIowa State University \nParking functions correspond with preferences of n cars which enter sequentially to park on a one-way street where (1) each car parks in the first available spot greater than or equal to its preference and (2) all cars successfully park. We generalize parking functions to parking completions: Here\, we are given that some cars have already parked in a set of spots\, which are indexed in a vector t. We then consider a preference vector c\, where len(t)+len(c)=n. If all cars can park\, we say that c is a parking completion. Adeniran\, et al. (2020) state an open problem which connects the number of parking completions to the volumes of Pitman-Stanley polytopes by explicit computation on small values of n. In this talk\, we provide a partial solution to this open problem by exploring edge cases.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Dexuan Xie
DESCRIPTION:Recent Advances in Nonlocal Dielectric Continuum Models for Predicting Protein and Ion Channel Electrostatics\nDr. Dexuan Xie\nProfessor\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThe calculation of electrostatics for proteins and ion channels is a fundamental challenge in structural biology\, computational biochemistry\, biophysics\, and mathematical biology. Traditional dielectric continuum models\, such as the Poisson–Boltzmann equation and its variants\, are widely used for this calculation. However\, their prediction accuracy often deteriorates near highly charged biomolecular surfaces because they neglect the polarization correlations of water molecules. To address these limitations\, a nonlocal dielectric continuum modeling approach was introduced roughly four decades ago. Over the past decade\, this approach has seen substantial theoretical and computational advances\, largely driven by our group’s work under support from the National Science Foundation. \nIn this seminar\, I will present our nonlocal dielectric theory and report our recent progress in developing nonlocal dielectric continuum models and finite element solvers for proteins and ion channels. I will also compare the predictions of our novel nonlocal models with those of the traditional local models and present numerical results demonstrating the efficiency of our solvers and the high performance of our software package. This work is a collaboration with my students\, Liam Jemison and Matthew Stahl. It has been partially supported by the National Science Foundation under award DMS-2153376 and by the Simons Foundation under research award 711776.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Jillian Cervantes
DESCRIPTION:The Axiom of Choice and Non-Lebesgue Measurable Sets\nJillian Cervantes\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIn this expository talk\, we explore an interesting connection between the axiom of choice and the existence of non-Lebesgue measurable subsets of \mathbb{R}. We state the axiom of choice and discuss its meaning and significance before reviewing properties of measures\, Lebesgue measure\, and Lebesgue measurable sets. The talk concludes with a construction which uses the axiom of choice to prove the existence of non-Lebesgue measurable sets.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Greg Ongie
DESCRIPTION:A Function Space View of Neural Networks\nProf. Greg Ongie\nAssistant Professor\nMarquette University \nMany mathematical analyses of deep learning focus on how neural network (NN) parameters evolve during training. A complementary perspective is to view NN training as fitting a function belonging to a function space implicitly defined by the architecture and training procedure. In particular\, when parameter norms are explicitly or implicitly constrained\, NNs exhibit a bias toward functions with low “representation cost\,” defined as the minimal parameter norm required to realize the function with a given NN architecture. This talk surveys recent results that characterize representation cost of shallow NN architectures in terms of Banach space norms\, and through non-linear notions of function rank for deeper NN architectures. Finally\, we discuss how bias towards low representation cost functions helps to explain generalization in various applications.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Daniel Noelck
DESCRIPTION:Exponential Stability Of The Discrete Stochastic Filter Via Non-degeneracy Andanalytic Stability Of The Signal\nDr. Daniel Noelck\nSenior Research Associate\nIllinois Institute of Technology \nThe stability of discrete time filters has been an active field of research\, particularly when applied to numerical filter approximation schemes. Most results in the field are obtained on a compact signal space\, but there is no reason to believe the results should not carry over to non-compact spaces. In this talk\, we will introduce the discrete time filtering problem\, discuss some well known results on compact spaces\, and the difficulties of expanding those results to non-compact spaces\, and then introduce recent results for stability on those non-compact spaces. Finally\, we will discuss the future work available in the continuous time setting.

SUMMARY:SIAM Student Chapter Presents: Dr. Carlos Martinez Mori
DESCRIPTION:Cooperation and the Design of Public Goods\nWe consider the cooperative elements that arise in the design of public goods\, such as transportation policies and infrastructure. These involve a variety of stakeholders: governments\, businesses\, advocates\, and users. Their eventual deployment is critically dependent on the decision maker’s ability to garner sufficient support from each of these groups; we formalize these strategic requirements from the perspective of cooperative game theory. Specifically\, we introduce non-transferable utility\, linear production (NTU LP) games\, which combine the game-theoretic tensions inherent in public decision-making with the modeling flexibility of linear programming. We derive structural properties regarding the non-emptiness\, representability\, and complexity of the core\, a solution concept that models the viability of cooperation. In particular\, we provide fairly general sufficient conditions under which the core of an NTU LP game is guaranteed to be non-empty\, prove that determining membership in the core is co-NP-complete\, and develop a cutting plane algorithm to optimize various social welfare objectives subject to core membership. Lastly\, we apply these results in a data-driven case study on service plan optimization for the Chicago bus system. We illustrate how\, while cooperation is necessary for the successful deployment of transportation service plans\, it may also have adverse and/or counterintuitive distributive implications. \nThis is joint work with Alejandro Toriello. \nPresented by Dr. Carlos Martinez Mori\, Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Denver. \nPizza will be served immediately following the lecture!

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Alex Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Representation Theory Through Parking Functions\nThis talk is about parking spaces. No\, not the kind in a grocery store parking lot\, rather a kind of space that appears when you want to study the symmetries of a set of combinatorial objects. If the terms vector space\, group\, and parking functions are already familiar to you\, you’re going to see a topic where they intersect. If those terms mean nothing to you\, then you’ll learn a little about what they are through a concrete example. I hope you’ll come with curiosity\, stay for the pretty pictures\, and leave with a different perspective through which you can view any mathematical objects you’re interested in. \nPresented by by Alex Wilson\, Postdoctoral Visitor at York University. \nJoin us for pizza before the talk from 12:30PM-1:00PM!

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Amare Mebrahtu
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Levels of Mathematical Modeling Prompts in the Illustrative Mathematics Algebra I and Geometry Curricula\nAmare Mebrahtu\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThis event will take place virtually over Teams on Friday\, January 16th from 3:00pm–4:30pm. \nThe Common Core State Standards for Mathematics highlight the importance of mathematical modeling in enhancing students’ problem-solving abilities and critical thinking in mathematics. To this end\, incorporating the various characteristics and levels of modeling problems is pivotal to designing and implementing mathematical modeling for students. This talk will explore the levels of mathematical modeling in the Illustrative Mathematics (IM) Algebra I and Geometry curricula. \nDrawing on the California Framework for Mathematical Modeling\, we will classify selected mathematical modeling problems in IM using five core characteristics: problem context\, questions provided\, student autonomy\, modeling process\, and iteration. The findings reveal that most IM modeling prompts align with intermediate levels in the framework\, balancing structured guidance with opportunities for student-driven decision-making and iterative refinement. \nAdvisor:\nProf. Kevin McLeod \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Suzanne Boyd\nProf. Jeb F Willenbring

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Alison Marzocchi
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alison Marzocchi\nSupporting Mathematics Faculty Instructional Improvement with Reflection Cycles\nDr. Alison Marzocchi\nProfessor of Mathematics\nCalifornia State University\, Fullerton \nMany mathematics faculty desire to improve their instruction but may feel they lack the knowledge\, confidence\, skills\, or time to do so. Among numerous professional development activities\, our mathematics department at California State University\, Fullerton offers Reflection Cycles\, both student-facilitated and peer-facilitated. Peer-facilitated Reflection Cycles involve pairs of faculty taking turns leading each other in three phases: planning\, implementation\, and debrief. The planning phase involves setting specific goals for an upcoming lesson. The implementation phase involves observation during a regularly scheduled class session\, with a focus on the goals set by the instructor. The debrief phase involves reflection on the implementation and setting new goals for the future. A second Reflection Cycle can then be scheduled to continue working on the same goals or to set new goals. Reflection Cycles allow for gradual\, sustained\, individualized improvement of instruction. They are facilitated in-house and can additionally improve department camaraderie.
