To understand the fluid dynamics of marine phenomena fluid-structure interaction problems must be solved. Challenges exist in developing analytical and numerical techniques to solve these complex flow problems with boundary conditions at fluid...

In both normal tissue and disease states, cells interact with one another, and other tissue components using cellular adhesion proteins. These interactions are fundamental in determining tissue fates, and the outcomes of normal development, and...

Efficient and accurate simulation of electromagnetic responses of geologically-rich geophysical settings is crucial in a variety of scenarios, including mineral and petroleum exploration, water resource utilizations, and geothermal power extractions...

Many problems in science and engineering are described in terms of equilibrium shapes on which certain conditions are imposed and which separate regions where the solution may have different properties. A prototypical problem of this type involves...

Adaptive time stepping methods for meta-stable dynamics of the Allen Cahn and Cahn Hilliard equations are investigated in the spatially continuous, semi-discrete setting. Predicted behaviour of the number of time steps with specified local error...

We are faced with a flood of molecular and clinical data. We are measuring interactions between various bio-molecules in a cell that form large, complex systems. Patient omics datasets are also increasingly becoming available. These systems-level...

The Winter 2018 SFU/UBC Joint Seminar is the second of two seminars taking place in the 2017/2018 school year between the UBC department of Statistics and the SFU department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. It is intended to give graduate...

The talk will be devoted to a simple introduction to stochastic PDEs (SPDEs) driven by Wiener processes, including both forward and backward (in time) cases. Some motivations, as well as the duality relationship between forward and backward SPDEs...

The purpose of this summer school is to introduce students in applied and computational mathematics to neural networks and deep learning. It will feature three days of lectures and hands-on tutorials, and be followed by a one-day workshop showcasing...

In this talk I will present the personal journey that the study of mathematics has allowed me to travel so far. It begins with a typical academic career, focused on research in applied mathematics, and specifically the mathematics related to the...
