The idea of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For two students from each...

My talk will be on boundary integral methods, which is a class of powerful methods for solving certain elliptic PDEs, such as the Laplace, Helmholtz and Stokes equations. These methods require efficient and accurate evaluation of singular and nearly...

The run-and-tumble motion of bacteria such as E. Coli can be represented by a kinetic equation considered with an hyperbolic scaling, and a Hopf-Cole transformation that makes the problem become non-linear. It has been proved that the asymptotic...

Skeletal muscle are complex living tissues that can undergo large deformations in short periods of time. Also, it is known that small volumetric changes can occur during contraction. In this presentation we introduce a dynamic nonlinear elastic...

The purpose of the conference is to promote interaction and networking among new researchers in these fields. The participants will present their research via a short expository talk and a poster and mingle throughout the day. There will be plenary...

Spherical harmonics are the natural basis for square integrable functions on the sphere in the sense of Lebesgue. However, their analytic structure makes them formidable to work with numerically. In this talk, we will present rapid transformations...

An intriguing application of Deep Learning research is the use of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) for image processing, as seen for example in the Prisma app and the Deep Dream algorithm. At SFU SIAT's iVizLab, we are using DCNNs within...

Talk details are available on the SFU DM site here.

We introduce an efficient algorithm, called partition of unity extension or PUX, to construct an extension of desired regularity of a function given on a complex multiply connected domain in $2D$.Function extension plays a fundamental role in...

Concentration waves of swimming bacteria Escherichia coli were described in his seminal paper by Adler (Science 1966). These experiments gave rise to intensive PDE modelling and analysis, after the original model by Keller and Segel (J. Theor. Biol...
