SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Dave Spade
DESCRIPTION:Statistical Modeling of Control of Animal Motion in Three Dimensions\n\n\n\nThis manuscript gets ahold of the control aspect of how Daphnia magna move through their surroundings in a control-type environment with still water and with no external stimuli. We present a statistical model for step lengths and roll\, pitch\, and yaw angles. We then use this model to describe a procedure for generating biologically realistic synthetic trajectories. The aim of this article is to provide a starting point for modeling animal motion in a variety of environmental settings.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Kevin Palencia Infante
DESCRIPTION:“My Instructor Was Kind of a Computer”: Rethinking Faculty–Student Interactions in Calculus\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kevin Palencia Infante\nAssistant Professor & Calculus Coordinator\nNorthern Illinois University \n\n\n\nWhile computers and AI are playing a growing role in education\, faculty remain essential to teaching in ways that meaningfully shape student learning. In this talk\, I present findings on how calculus students experience their interactions with instructors. Drawing on a qualitative study framed by academic validation and invalidation\, Black and Hispanic students share perspectives on their classroom experiences. They highlight instructional practices that support their learning\, including collaborative environments\, clear conceptual guidance\, availability outside of class\, and actions that make them feel valued. They also point to interactions that leave them feeling unsupported or not validated. Across these experiences\, students emphasize the importance of compassion\, care\, and instructor presence. By centering student voices\, this talk shows how faculty–student interactions shape students’ experiences in calculus beyond content delivery.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Steve Butler
DESCRIPTION:A Short Course in Spectral Graph Theory\nProf. Steve Butler\nMorrill Professor of Mathematics\nIowa State University \nGraphs are used to model relationships (edges) between objects (vertices). A graph’s structure can efficiently stored in an array format. We can go one step further and replace arrays by matrices (which are arrays with benefits!)\, the eigenvalues of these matrices tell us some information about the graph. The extent to which we can understand the structure of the graph from these eigenvalues is spectral graph theory. We will do a quick walk through of some of the flavors of matrices that are studied in spectral graph theory\, and some results that arise from their study.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Genevieve Walsh
DESCRIPTION:Quasi-isometric Hyperbolic and Cusped Relatively Hyperbolic Groups are Symmetric\nProf. Genevieve Walsh\nProfessor of Mathematics\nTufts University \nThis talk will first describe hyperbolic groups and relatively hyperbolic group pairs\, and give some key examples. We then delve into understanding when the cusp space for a relatively hyperbolic group can be quasi-isometric to a hyperbolic group. For example\, real hyperbolic spaces admit uniform and non-uniform lattices. We show that this is the exception. In particular\, if a hyperbolic group is quasi-isometric to a cusped space for a relatively hyperbolic group\, then both groups are lattices acting on a rank-1 symmetric space. \nThis is joint work with Daniel Groves\, Emily Stark\, and Kevin Whyte.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Jonathan Walker-Moses
DESCRIPTION:The Beautiful Interplay of Rotation Groups in Three Dimensions\n\nWe’ll explore the connections between the rotation Lie groups (SU(n) and SO(n)) in two and three dimensions. In doing so\, we’ll prove a remarkable theorem about the way that SU(2) and SO(3) relate using quaternions and then discuss some connections to complex analysis at the end. In doing so\, we’ll take a very fun and (in my opinion) mind-blowing journey through spheres of different dimensions. Absolutely no knowledge of Lie theory is expected and I’ll be happy to clarify any details from topology or group theory that come up that you aren’t familiar with.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jennifer Elder
DESCRIPTION:Doing Anything You Want With Combinatorics\nDr. Jennifer Elder\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nMissouri Western State University \nWhen Mathematical Reviews first launched as a journal in 1940\, combinatorics was not listed as a research area. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg was solved in 1736\, so this absence is not due to later development of the field. Combinatorics has simply been hard to define on its own\, given that it is used as a tool in so many different areas of mathematics. \nThis talk will take the opposite point of view. We will center our focus on several research problems motivated from a combinatorial standpoint\, and the connections to other fields of research. These connections can be simple\, such as bridging different subareas of combinatorics: a study of a specific set of words uncovering unexpected properties of intervals in a lattice. Or the connections can be more odd\, connecting widely different areas of mathematics: a study of braid diagrams on k strands as a dynamical algebraic system.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Elaine Spiller
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty Quantification for Geophysical Hazard Analysis\nDr. Elaine Spiller\nProfessor of Applied Math and Statistics\nMarquette University \nGeophysical flows — landslides\, storm surge\, tsunamis\, volcanic flows\, etc — pose a serious threat to nearby populations. Ideally\, probabilistic hazard assessments combine available knowledge about physical mechanisms of the hazard\, data on past hazards\, and any available precursor information. Systematically assessing the probability of rare\, yet catastrophic hazards adds a layer of difficulty due to limited observational data. Via computer models\, one can exercise potentially dangerous scenarios that may not have happened in the past but are probabilistically consistent with the aleatoric nature of previous geophysical behavior in the record. \nI will discuss recent work and ongoing methodological challenges toward making efficient and flexible geophysical hazard maps focusing on applications to volcanic flows (pyroclastic density currents) and post-fire debris flows.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Ilana Lavene
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Boundaries of Groups\nWe introduce a generalization of parking functions in which cars are limited in their movement backwards and forwards by two nonnegative integer parameters k and ℓ\, respectively. In this setting\, there are n spots on a one-way street and m cars attempting to park in those spots\, and 1≤m≤n. We let α= (a1\,a2\,…\,am) in [n]^m denote the parking preferences for the cars\, which enter the street sequentially. Car i drives to their preference a_i and parks there if the spot is available. Otherwise\, car i checks up to k spots behind their preference\, parking in the first available spot it encounters if any. If no spots are available\, or the car reaches the start of the street\, then the car returns to its preference and attempts to park in the first spot it encounters among spots a_i+1\,a_i+2\,…\,a_i+l. If car i fails to park\, then parking ceases. If all cars are able to park given the preferences in α\, then α is called a (k\,l)-pullback (m\,n)-parking function. Our main result establishes counts for these parking functions via a recursive formula.

SUMMARY:Marden Colloquium: Dr. Trachette Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Agent-based Modeling of Dysregulated Cell Signaling and the Tumor-Immune Landscape Predicts New Possibilities for Combination Therapy\nDr. Trachette Jackson\nProfessor of Mathematics and Associate Vice President for Research – Strategic Partnerships and Inclusive Excellence\nUniversity of Michigan \nMathematical models\, specifically agent-based models (ABMs)\, have shown recent successes in uncovering the multiscale dynamics that shape the trajectory of cancer. They have enabled the optimization of treatment methods and the identification of novel therapeutic strategies. To assess the combined effects on tumor growth and the immune response of monoclonal antibodies that boost the immune system (immunotherapy) and small molecule inhibitors (SMI) that counteract the effect of driver mutations\, we build and analyze an ABM that captures key facets of tumor heterogeneity and immune cell dynamics\, their spatial interactions\, and their response to therapeutic pressures. Our model predicts that under certain conditions\, immunotherapy alone is optimal; in others\, immunotherapy followed by mutation-targeted therapy is best. These results suggest that optimal treatment depends on the strength of cellular signaling pathways and highlight the need to quantify mutation-dependent cell signaling and the fitness advantage conferred on cancer cells harboring these mutations.

SUMMARY:Marden Lecture: Dr. Trachette Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Mobilizing Mathematics for the Fight Against Cancer\nDr. Trachette Jackson\nProfessor of Mathematics and Associate Vice President for Research – Strategic Partnerships and Inclusive Excellence\nUniversity of Michigan \nIt is an exciting time to work in the interdisciplinary field of Mathematical Oncology. Even TIME Magazine agrees\, “A team-based\, cross-disciplinary approach to cancer research is upending tradition and delivering results faster.” Mathematical oncologists apply mathematical and computational modeling approaches to every aspect of cancer biology\, from tumor initiation to malignant spread to treatment response. This talk will highlight a suite of mathematical models from the past and present designed to improve the efficacy of drug treatment strategies for cancer. Combined with existing and newly generated experimental data\, these mathematical models are poised to enhance the ability to combine promising drugs for clinical trials. This type of interdisciplinary science can reduce the time and costs associated with transitioning novel therapeutics approaches from “equations to bench to bedside.” \nReception to follow in LEC

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Lauren Rose
DESCRIPTION:Quads\, Finite Geometry\, and Sidon Sets\nDr. Lauren Rose\nAssociate Professor of Mathematics\nBard College \nQuads is a SET-like card game\, produced by the AWM under the name “EvenQuads”. The cards can be represented as points in $\mathbb{Z}_2^6$​\, where a quad in the game corresponds to an affine plane in the finite geometry$ AG(6\,2)$. Our primary focus is on quad-free collections of cards\, which correspond to Sidon sets. We explore an Quads analog of the “Cap Set” problem for SET\, presenting results and ongoing research.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Alastair Fletcher
DESCRIPTION:Infinitesimal Spaces of Quasiregular Mappings\nProf. Alastair Fletcher\nProfessor of Mathematical Sciences and Director of Undergraduate Studies\nNorthern Illinois University \nHow can we differentiate functions which are not differentiable? In the context of quasiregular mappings\, a generalization of holomorphic functions where now infinitesimal circles are mapped to infinitesimal ellipses\, there is a satisfactory answer to this question given by infinitesimal spaces. In this talk\, we will survey these objects and discuss some ongoing work with relevance to the Decomposition Problem for bi-Lipschitz maps.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Laurel Ohm
DESCRIPTION:PDE Problems in Thin Filament Hydrodynamics\nProf. Laurel Ohm\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison \nMany fundamental biophysical processes\, from cell division to cellular motility\, involve dynamics of thin structures immersed in a very viscous fluid. Various popular models have been developed to describe this fluid-structure interaction mathematically\, but much of our understanding of these models is at the level of numerics and formal asymptotics. Here we will discuss some of the interesting issues that arise in developing the PDE theory of thin filament hydrodynamics\, as well as the insights this analysis perspective can shed on the underlying biophysics.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Roger Howe
DESCRIPTION:Mathematics around the Heisenberg Group\nProf. Roger Howe\nProfessor Emeritus\nYale University \nIn the mid 1920s\, Werner Heisenberg formulated the CCR – canonical commutation relations – describing the relationship between the operations of measuring position and of measuring momentum of a particle in quantum mechanics. These have been fundamental to the later\, dramatically successful development of subatomic physics. Shortly after Heisenberg’s work\, Hermann Weyl pointed out that the CCR defined the relations of a Lie algebra\, whose associated group is a two-step nilpotent group with one dimensional center. Today\, this group (and its increasingly large set of cousins) is known as the “Heisenberg group”. Over the remainder of the 20th century\, appreciation grew of the fundamental role of the Heisenberg group in disparate mathematical topics\, including harmonic analysis\, partial differential equations\, invariant theory and representation theory\, in both finite and infinite dimensions. This talk will review and attempt to summarize some of the manifold connections between these topics that are mediated by the Heisenberg group

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Yoichiro Mori
DESCRIPTION:Mathematical Modeling of Cell Volume Control and Electrolyte Balance\nProf. Yoichiro Mori\nProfessor of Mathematics\nUniversity of Pennsylvania \nElectrolyte and cell volume regulation is essential in physiological systems. Biophysical modeling in this area\, however\, has been relatively sparse. After a brief introduction to cell volume control and electrophysiology\, I will discuss the classical pump-leak model of electrolyte and cell volume control. It will be shown that thermodynamic considerations lead to a new perspective of cell volume control. This classical model will then be generalized to a model with spatial extent (a system of partial differential equations) modeling cell-level electrodiffusive and osmotic phenomena. A simplified version of this model will then be applied to study osmosis-driven cell movement. I will also touch upon tissue-level models of ionic electrodiffusion and osmotic water flow which we have developed to study certain pathophysiologies of the central nervous system.

SUMMARY:Marden Special Topics Seminar: Prof. Caroline Klivans
DESCRIPTION:The Mathematics of Chip-Firing\nCaroline Klivans\nProfessor of Applied Mathematics\, Deputy Director of ICERM\nBrown University \nChip-firing processes are discrete dynamical systems. A commodity (chips\, sand\, dollars) is exchanged between sites of a network according to simple local rules. Although governed by local rules\, the long-term global behavior of the system reveals unexpected properties\, including intricate fractal-like patterns. In this talk\, I will give a broad survey of the theory of chip-firing\, highlighting both classical results and recent advances.

SUMMARY:Marden Lecture: Professor Caroline J Klivans
DESCRIPTION:The intrigue that compels us \nWhen we witness unexpected phenomena\, a mathematician finds themselves asking: why?  We are compelled to understand further; what is the cause\, the basic underlying principles?   Mathematics is full of symmetries\, patterns and visuals that we can appreciate in their own right or use to explain and illustrate concepts.  And\, they can also drive us to discovery.  I will tell a story of chip-firing\, a mathematical idea that leads to fascinatingly intricate structures.  The imagery of these structures has spurred many questions to which we know surprisingly few answers.\n \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jay Pantone
DESCRIPTION:Experimental Methods in Combinatorics\nDr. Jay Pantone\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nMarquette University \nWhat number comes next in the sequence\n1\, 2\, 4\, 8\, 16\, 32\, … ? \nHow about\n1\, 2\, 3\, 5\, 8\, 13\, … ? \nOr maybe\n1\, 3\, 14\, 84\, 592\, 4659\, … ? \nMany questions in combinatorics have the form “How many objects are there that have size n and that satisfy certain properties?” For example\, there are n! permutations (rearrangements) of n distinct objects\, there are 2^n binary strings of length n\, and the number of sequences of n coin flips that never have two tails in a row is the nth Fibonacci number. The “counting sequence” of a set of objects is the sequence a_0\, a_1\, a_2\, …\, where a_n is the number of objects of size n. \nAs a result of theoretical advances and more powerful computers\, it is becoming common to be able to compute a large number of initial terms of the counting sequence of a set of objects that you’d like to study. From these initial terms\, can you guess future terms? Can you guess a formula for the nth term in the sequence? Can you guess the asymptotic behavior as n tends to infinity? \nRigorously\, you can prove basically nothing from just some known initial terms. But\, perhaps surprisingly\, there are several empirical techniques that can use these initial terms to shed some light on the nature of a sequence. \nAs we talk about two such techniques — automated conjecturing of generating functions\, and the method of differential approximation — we’ll exhibit their usefulness through a variety of combinatorial topics\, including chord diagrams\, permutation classes\, and inversion sequences.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jean-Pierre Mutunguha
DESCRIPTION:The Dynamical view of Free-by-Cyclic Groups\nDr. Jean Pierre Mutanguha\nInstructor\nPrinceton \nFree-by-cyclic groups can be defined as mapping tori of free group automorphisms. I will discuss various dynamical properties of automorphisms that turn out to be group invariants of the corresponding free-by-cyclic groups (e.g. growth type). In particular\, certain dynamical hierarchical decompositions of an automorphism determine canonical hierarchical decompositions of its mapping torus.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Emmanuel Asante-Asamani
DESCRIPTION:A Mechanochemical Model of Cell Migration in Confined Environments\nDr. Emmanuel Asante-Asamani\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nClarkson University \nEukaryotic cells can move in confined environments by using pressure driven protrusions of their cell membrane\, a motility mechanism known as blebbing. Blebbing has been observed to facilitate the movement of tumor cells and some cancer cells during metastasis. Many questions remain unanswered about how cells translate mechanical cues from their environment into coordinated movement during blebbing. Of particular interest is how proteins that link the cell membrane to the cortex regulate the size and frequency of blebs under different levels of environmental confinement. In this talk\, I will present a multiscale model of bleb expansion that treats the cell as a viscous fluid encased by a viscoelastic boundary\, whose mechanical properties are regulated by dynamic structural and motor proteins. Numerical simulation of this model supports experimental data suggesting\, contrary to intuition\, that weakening the adhesion of the cell membrane to the cortex produces smaller and less frequent blebs.
