SUMMARY:ESAM Seminar: Dr. Adrianna Gillman on "Fast Direct Solvers for Boundary Integral Equations"
UID:647036@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Title: Fast Direct Solvers for Boundary Integral Equations  Speaker: Dr. Adrianna Gillman\, University of Colorado Boulder  Abstract: The numerical solution of linear boundary values problems play an important role in the modeling of physical phenomena.  As practitioners continue to want to solve more complicated problems\, it is important to develop robust and efficient numerical methods.  For some linear boundary value problems\, it is possible to recast the problem as a boundary integral equation which sometimes leads to a reduction in dimensionality.  The trade-off for the reduction in dimensionality is the need to solve a dense linear system.  Inverting the dense N by N matrix via Gaussian elimination has a computational cost of O(N^3).  When N is large\, the cost in both memory and computational resources is too high for most practitioners.  This talk presents solution techniques that exploit the physics in the boundary integral equation to invert the dense matrix for a cost that scales linearly (or nearly linearly) with N with   small constants.  For example\, on a laptop computer\, a matrix with N=100\,000 can be inverted in 90 seconds and applying the solver takes under a tenth of a second.  The speed in which new boundary conditions can be processed makes these methods ideal applications involving many solves such as optimal design and inverse scattering.   In these applications\, fast direct solvers observe hundreds of times speed up over previously state of the art techniques.  Examples of how these techniques can be used to create accelerated solvers for problems where the linear scaling solver is excessive will also be presented.   Bio: Adrianna Gillman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Colorado\, Boulder.  In 2018\, she was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.  Her work has been supported by industrial contracts\, NSF and\, most recently\, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation Grant\, in cooperation with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Gillman’s research lies in the intersection of numerical linear algebra and numerical partial differential equations with an emphasis on developing high order discretizations and efficient solvers for the linear systems that result from these discretizations.  Her work has been applied to applications including scattering and Stokes flow.

SUMMARY:IEMS Seminar | Benjamin Grimmer | Optimization in the Space of Algorithms
UID:647539@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Often we want to design the best-possible algorithm for solving a given type of problem. Within modern optimization\, this means finding a strategy for where to query gradients of an objective function that ultimately leads to the best final solution given a limited computational budget. Much recent progress in optimization theory has come from viewing this algorithm design task as\, itself\, a meta-optimization problem in the space of algorithms. Surprisingly\, global optimization in this infinite-dimensional algorithm space can often be made tractable. This talk will discuss two such advances in the state-of-the-art for optimization theory: (1) Complete characterizations of sets of minimax optimal first-order methods and (2) Dynamically optimal methods that adapt as-well-as-possible at runtime in response to observed first-order information. Along the way\, classical (beautiful) ideas from convex duality\, minimax theorems\, and game theory will be key tools.     Bio: Ben Grimmer is an assistant professor of applied mathematics and statistics at Johns Hopkins University\, currently on sabbatical at MIT. Ben’s work primarily focuses on novel methods for the design and analysis of first-order methods and is supported by AFOSR and as a Sloan Fellow. This work has received best paper prizes\, including the most recent INFORMS Optimization Society's Young Researcher Prize. Some of his recent computer-assisted works have received substantial interest\, being featured in popular mathematics venues like Quanta.\n\nMore Info: https://www.ams.jhu.edu/~grimmer/

SUMMARY:WED@NICO SEMINAR: Timothy Tangherlini\, UC Berkeley "Chat Agents\, Conspiracy Theory & Threat Narratives: Cultural Analytics and Narrative at Scale"
UID:646674@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Timothy Tangherlini\, Elizabeth H. and Eugene A. Shurtleff Chair in Undergraduate Education\, Distinguished Professor in the Dept. of Scandinavian and the School of Information\, University of California\, Berkeley  Title:  Chat Agents\, Conspiracy Theory & Threat Narratives: Cultural Analytics and Narrative at Scale  Abstract:   In this talk\, I present current work on the intersection of conspiracy theory and narratives of threat\, with the shifting terrain of chat bots increasingly influencing the social media ecosystem. I present a generative model of narratives of threat\, explore aspects of stance detection and the narrative sorting of actants and institutions into "insiders" and "outsiders." I then explore the topology of conspiracy theory as a narrative predilection for  a comprehensive explanation of allegedly witnessed or experienced phenomena along with inferences about connections based on a monologic world view. Using examples from earlier political social media discussions\, and updating these observations in the context of contemporaneous debates about the role of AI in society allow for insight into the thicket of connections that characterize the ongoing negotiation of belief through narrative  Speaker Bio:  Timothy R. Tangherlini\, Elizabeth H. and Eugene A. Shurtleff Chair of Undergraduate Education\, is a Distinguished Professor in the Dept. of Scandinavian and the School of Information at the University of California\, Berkeley. He is also associate director of the Berkeley Institute for Data Science and the Faculty Director of the Berkeley Folklore Archive.  He has worked on computational approaches to folklore\, with an emphasis on stories and storytelling over the past three decades. Under the auspices of the NSF's Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics\, he co-directed a program on Culture Analytics\, as well as an NEH Institute on Network Analysis for the Humanities. He is the author of several books\, and various articles. He has done extensive fieldwork on storytelling among paramedics\, and shamanism in South Korea\, as well as archival work on rural 19th century Denmark. His current work focuses on generative models of common story genres such as legend\, rumor\, personal experience narratives\, and conspiracy theories\, as well as understanding cultural phenomena such as dance and cuisine across many scales of analysis.

SUMMARY:Complex Systems Seminar: Alberto Fernandez-Nieves: "Correlations in Active Nematic Defects"
UID:644270@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Defects in nematics frustrate the orientational order of this liquid crystalline phase. When driven out-of-equilibrium\, these defects self-propel\, interact\, and create and annihilate by pairs\, resulting in a disordered state with a hidden order characterized by the suppression of number fluctuations on length scales that can be as large as the system size\, L. This apparent hyperuniformity is most pronounced when considering the subpopulation of either the positive or the negative defects. Agent-based simulations help elucidate the role of both creation/annihilation of defect pairs and of their mutual correlations in the observed behavior. For significantly larger system sizes\, this apparent hyperuniformity reverts to uniformity. A continuum model including some of the relevant ingredients of the experimental system help conclude that it is the unbinding of defects after creation\, due to effective diffusion and conservative noise\, what promotes hyperuniformity\, with creation/annihilation\, due to non-conservative noise\, promoting uniformity. The balance of these two effects determines a length scale\, lx\, below which the system exhibits apparent hyperuniformity. If lx < L\, the subpopulation of positive and negative defects is for all relevant purposes hyperuniform.     Alberto Fernandez-Nieves\, Professor\, University of Barcelona  Host: Michelle Driscoll

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Danielle Speller: “From Darkness to Light”
UID:642591@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:One of the most prominent goals of particle physics is to understand the fundamental composition and behavior of matter.  Large-scale experiments have been constructed to search for tiny depositions of energy that would signal faint couplings to new families of particles.  Particularly of interest is the nature of dark matter\, the invisible mass density surrounding most of the observable galaxies.  Many particle or wave-like candidates for the composition of dark matter have been proposed over a wide range of possible mass scales\, generally with compelling origins that also address other open questions in the field. The Axion Longitudinal Plasma Haloscope (ALPHA) is an experiment designed to search for axion and axion-like populations in the Milky Way’s galactic halo.  Building on the foundation of microwave cavity experiments searching for ueV scale axions\, ALPHA represents a different way of approaching the traditional format of the haloscope.  We discuss the search for axions and the commissioning of the experiment.   Danielle Speller\, Assistant Professor\, Johns Hopkins University   Host: John Carrasco

SUMMARY:2026 Stephen H. Davis Lecture: Dr. Sidney Nagel on "Memory Formation in Particle Packings"
UID:647040@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Title: Memory Formation in Particle Packings  Speaker: Dr. Sidney Nagel\, University of Chicago  Abstract: A disordered solid created by packing spheres in a box has a myriad of stable configurations that defy straightforward enumeration and characterization. Since structure often determines function\, each distinct arrangement potentially corresponds to different material behavior. The question naturally arises: How many mechanically stable ways are there to pack N identical spheres in a box? This has the spirit of a “Fermi estimation problem\,” but one for which we do not have an answer: we do not know how to account for rearranging the particles to produce packings with different connectivity. We therefore resort to measurement.  Stable packings of N identical soft spheres in d dimensions lie at the minima of a vast (Nd)-dimensional potential energy landscape. Starting from random positions\, the particles can relax to mechanical equilibrium; all initial conditions that end at the same minimum belong to the same catchment basin. We find a very wide distribution of basin volumes. These results suggest how to understand the imprinting of memories in solids.  Bio: Sidney Nagel was educated at Columbia University (B.A. in 1969) and at Princeton University (Ph.D. in 1975). He did a postdoc at Brown and then moved to the University of Chicago in 1976 where he has remained and is now the Stein-Freiler Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Physics and the James Franck and Enrico Fermi Institutes. Nagel is a condensed-matter experimentalist focusing on problems where the physics of disorder and far-from-equilibrium behavior play crucial roles. Of particular delight is when table-top experiments have analogs in disparate fields at wildly different scales. In particular\, he has studied the glass transition\, the phenomenology of granular material\, and the physics of jamming; he has also focused on pattern and singularity formation in fluid interfaces\, and the formation of stains left behind by evaporating liquid drops. A current interest is the investigation of memory formation in out-of-equilibrium matter. He has worked to make his science accessible to a broad public by emphasizing the inherent beauty of the phenomena he studies in the laboratory. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

SUMMARY:WED@NICO SEMINAR: Andreia Sofia Teixeira\, Northeastern University London "Human Relational Ecology and Conversational AI: From Social Actor to Asymmetric Co-Regulation"
UID:646675@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Andreia Sofia Teixeira\, Associate Professor\, Network Science Institute\, Northeastern University London  Title:  Human Relational Ecology and Conversational AI: From Social Actor to Asymmetric Co-Regulation  Abstract:   Human cognition\, mental health and relationships unfold within interconnected social systems that change over time. Drawing on work on cognitive-affective structure\, the evolution of supportive and conflictual ties in adolescent social networks\, and distinct social envirotypes associated with mental health and context-dependent patterns of brain connectivity\, I will discuss what these different perspectives tell us about the human relational ecology in which wellbeing is embedded\, including the role of co-regulation in shaping emotion\, cognition and behaviour.  Understanding this ecology is especially important as conversational AI emerges as a new kind of social actor. These systems can simulate some of the interactional signals associated with co-regulation\, including responsiveness\, validation\, emotional language and apparent empathy\, but without reciprocal lived experience\, vulnerability\, embodiment or shared accountability. I will introduce the concept of asymmetric co-regulation to frame this distinction.  Building on emerging work at the intersection of AI use\, social networks and real-world human–AI conversations\, I will ask what happens when conversational AI moves beyond instrumental use and starts to occupy more relational roles: when it may scaffold or substitute for existing human capacities and forms of support\, how repeated interactions may shape regulation and sense of agency over time\, and how these dynamics may become embedded within wider social relationships.  Speaker Bio:  Andreia Sofia Teixeira is an Associate Professor at the Network Science Institute\, Northeastern University London\, where she leads the BRAN Lab (Behavioral Research and Adaptive Networks). Her research sits at the intersection of network science and machine learning\, developing measures\, computational models and simulation frameworks to understand the structure and dynamics of complex systems\, and how local behaviour can spill over to collective scales. Her work spans human–AI interaction\, collective behaviour\, cognitive and affective networks\, signed and temporal social networks\, mental health and neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Across these areas\, she is particularly interested in how individual states\, relationships and broader social environments shape one another over time.

SUMMARY:A Trinity Platform for Scholarly Publications: A Harvard Experiment — Xiao-Li Meng
UID:646882@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person Distinguished Speaker event featuring Xiao-Li Meng\, an internationally renowned statistician\, data scientist\, and former Dean of the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Widely recognized for his pioneering contributions to statistical science\, data analysis\, and interdisciplinary research\, Meng has helped shape statistics and data science through groundbreaking scholarship\, academic leadership\, and innovative approaches to understanding uncertainty in an increasingly data-driven world.  Title: A Trinity Platform for Scholarly Publications: A Harvard Experiment  Designed as a Trinity platform and launched in 2019 with a commitment to diamond open access\, Harvard Data Science Review (HDSR) unites the strengths of a premier research journal\, a cutting-edge educational publication\, and a popular magazine to provide a crossroads at which fundamental data science research and education intersect and interact directly with societally important applications. This eight-year experimentation offers initial evidence that such a model can be intellectually viable\, societally impactful\, and financially sustainable\, because it better captures the intellectual\, pedagogical\, and economic values created by the three Cs that define scholarly publication. That is\, statistically speaking\, a scholarly publication is where the content is timely and of the highest quality\, created by an ever-expanding community of the best minds — authors\, reviewers\, and editors — committed to a shared culture of rigorous pursuit and critical thinking. Extending beyond the page into podcasts\, conferences\, and online programs\, it offers a versatile and agile model for scholarly publications in the age of AI\, especially as our global society undergoes an “AGI realignment” (Meng\, HDSR Spring Editorial\, 2026): of the roles\, functions\, and interactions of Academia\, Government\, and Industry. With respect to the more commonly known AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)\, the talk ends with a provocation: the scholarly publishing community sits on a hidden treasure for building AGI. Deciding whether to offer this treasure likely takes more than scholarly debate\, since its consequences could be lauded (e.g.\, supporting open access) or dreaded (e.g.\, given existing fears about AI).  Xiao-Li Meng is the Whipple V. N. Jones Professor of Statistics at Harvard and Founding Editor-in-Chief of Harvard Data Science Review. He received his BS in mathematics from Fudan University in 1982 and his PhD in statistics from Harvard in 1990. After serving on the University of Chicago faculty (1991–2001)\, he returned to Harvard\, where he chaired the Department of Statistics (2004–2012) and served as Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (2012–2017). His research spans foundations of statistical inference—including interactions among Bayesian\, fiducial\, and frequentist perspectives; standard\, imprecise\, and quantum probability; data utility and privacy; and multi-source\, multi-phase\, and multi-resolution inference—statistical methodology and computation\, including posterior predictive p-values\, EM\, MCMC\, bridge and path sampling\, and heavy-tail approximations; and applications across natural\, social\, and medical sciences and engineering\, including complex modeling in astronomy and astrophysics\, disparities in mental health services\, and statistical information in genetic studies. In 2001\, Meng received the COPSS President’s Award\, recognizing the outstanding statistician under age 40\, and in 2020 was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.\n\nWebcast Link: https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/92202269352\n\nRegister: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/bPrWQWPnAH

SUMMARY:Complex Systems Seminar: Andreia Sofia Teixeira: "Enriching Our Understanding of Human Behaviour through Signed Networks"
UID:644271@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Signed networks allow us to move beyond simple notions of connectivity by representing relationships as positive\, negative\, or potentially neutral. This makes it possible to study how patterns of support and conflict are organised across a social system\, how they relate to polarization and individual positioning\, and how those structures evolve over time. In this talk\, I will bring together theoretical and empirical work showing how structural balance can be extended across scales\, and how longitudinal signed networks can display a coexistence between substantial relational turnover and stable macroscopic structure. I will also discuss ongoing work that extends the relational state space beyond positive and negative ties by distinguishing neutral relationships from absent ones\, and how this affects our interpretation of balance and stability. Finally\, I will present preliminary evidence on whether we can learn\, from network structure\, which social mechanisms are predictive of changes in relationships.

SUMMARY:ESAM Seminar: Dr. Alan Lindsay on "Advances in Asymptotic and Computational Methods for Biological Transport"
UID:647041@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Title: Advances in Asymptotic and Computational Methods for Biological Transport  Speaker: Dr. Alan Lindsay\, University of Notre Dame  Abstract: Asymptotic analysis remains one of the most powerful analytical tools for extracting interpretable information from mathematical models in science. These methods systematically exploit multiscale structure to reduce complex and often intractable problems to a sequence of tractable sub-problems. When coupled with modern numerical methods\, they greatly expand the range and scope of scientific questions that can be addressed.   In this talk I will discuss the insights these tools have yielded into the role that geometry\, dynamics and localization play in biological transport. For the diffusive delivery of cargoes to small reactive sites\, they give precise information on how the spatial organization of those sites shapes function. This has led to new solutions to the long-standing Berg-Purcell problem and the narrow escape problem. Underpinning these results is a suite of high-order boundary integral solvers which pair with asymptotic methods to resolve multiscale features and massively expand the geometric scope of biological problems that can be investigated. Throughout the talk I will highlight where interactions with experimental science have guided the direction of the mathematics\, and I will close with promising directions for future enquiry.  Bio: Alan Lindsay is an Associate Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame. His research group combines mathematical modeling and analysis with computational tools to uncover the rules governing decision making in cellular systems. Prof Lindsay received his B.Sc. in Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh\, Scotland and Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of British Columbia\, Canada.

TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Rafael Prieto-Curiel\, Faculty Member\, Complexity Science Hub Vienna  Title:  Why Incarcerating Cartel Members has not Worked to Reduce their Violence  Abstract:   Organised crime cartels must largely be analysed as black boxes because direct observation is rarely possible\, and available evidence consists mostly of imperfect proxies and very limited data. I will present complex systems models to quantify recruitment and incarceration to analyse the effect of organised criminals in Mexico. The results suggest that incarcerating cartel members has minor effects on reducing cartel violence\, even with harsher punishment or longer sentences.

He works for the OECD and the World Bank\, where he does a spatial and demographic analysis of cities. He is the Scientific Advisor of Aleph.  He was awarded the “Science Breakthrough” award by the Falling Walls Foundation in 2024.  Before\, he was at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford / UCL CASA\, working on urban dynamics at the Peak Urban project. He earned an MSc in Statistics and a PhD in Maths and Security and Crime at University College London (UCL).  He worked in the Emergency Attention Centre from Mexico City (C5) as Director of Strategic Analysis. His work consisted basically of crime forecasting and police and resource allocation.   Rafael is very interested in science communication. When he was an undergraduate student\, he directed Laberintos e Infinitos\, a maths magazine. When he started his PhD at UCL\, he founded Chalkdust\, a mathematics magazine. He also founded Punto Decimal MX\, a science communication website. In total\, he has published 11 editions of a maths magazine\, with nearly 30\,000 printed copies and edited nearly 500 articles by more than 200 authors.

SUMMARY:Complex Systems Seminar: Shelly Zhang: "Toward Multifunctional Materials: From Design to Manufacturing"
UID:645265@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Multifunctional materials and structures that carry load\, dissipate energy\, and actively respond to external stimuli hold great potential for various applications\, such as robotics\, biomedical devices\, and civil structures. Realizing such systems requires design strategies that can navigate high-dimensional architectural spaces\, material heterogeneity\, nonlinear mechanics\, and multiphysics coupling\, as well as fabrication methods that translate optimized fields into physical architectures.  In this talk\, we present optimization-driven design frameworks with advanced manufacturing strategies to design\, fabricate\, and experimentally validate multifunctional systems\, across both hard materials (i.e.\, disordered mechanical metamaterials) and soft materials (i.e.\, magneto-active materials and thermo-active liquid crystal elastomer). Geometry\, material distribution\, internal architecture\, and spatial anisotropy are treated as design variables to program stiffness-strength tradeoffs\, controlled nonlinear responses\, and stimulus-triggered shape transformations and programming. We investigate design problems where AI-enabled method is necessary to make exploration of complex nonlinear spaces computationally feasible\, as well as problems where rigorous multiphysics modeling is essential to ensure predictive reliability and mechanistic interpretability.  To bridge computation and realization\, we develop hybrid fabrication strategies\, tailored toolpath generation methods\, and direct ink writing techniques to realize optimized designs. Experimental validation across mechanical and stimuli-responsive systems demonstrates strong agreement between target behaviors\, simulations\, and performance. Together\, these results illustrate how multifunctionality can be systematically programmed through design across material classes\, providing a pathway toward engineered systems with integrated structural and adaptive capabilities.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Ella King: "Designing Dynamics of Biologically-Inspired Materials"
UID:647309@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Despite significant advances in synthetic materials design\, the complexity of living matter dwarfs what is presently achievable in artificial materials. Biological systems achieve these feats by precisely controlling dynamic properties\, suggesting that it should be possible to achieve the same\, or possibly better\, control in synthetic materials. But how do we design complex functional materials without the luxury of billions of years of evolution? Here\, we introduce a method for materials design that directly targets dynamic functions in self-assembled materials. We then apply the method to discover the design rules for a common error-correcting mechanism in biological systems\, kinetic proofreading. While canonical models of kinetic proofreading assume an unlimited supply of energy\, we find that the optimal proofreading mechanism fundamentally changes in energy-scarce environments. This optimal mechanism leads to orders of magnitude improvement in both product formation and error reduction simultaneously  Ella M.

SUMMARY:The Implementation Problem in AI: Perspectives from Implementation Science — Guillaume Fontaine
UID:646883@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person Distinguished Speaker event featuring Guillaume Fontaine\, Director of the McGill RISE³ Implementation Science Lab and Assistant Professor at McGill University. An internationally recognized leader in implementation science\, Fontaine's research advances the use of evidence-based frameworks and methodologies to improve healthcare outcomes\, with a particular focus on integrating artificial intelligence into implementation research and practice.   Title: The Implementation Problem in AI: Perspectives from Implementation Science  Abstract: AI systems can perform well in testing and still deliver limited benefits in practice. Their impact depends on whether people adopt them\, how they fit into everyday work\, and whether their use produces lasting benefits across populations.  This talk examines how AI and implementation science can inform each other. Implementation science studies how evidence and innovations are adopted\, integrated into routine practice\, and sustained. It offers methods to identify barriers to AI use\, test strategies to address those barriers\, and assess outcomes beyond technical performance. AI also raises questions for the field. As AI systems are updated and used in different settings\, what should remain consistent in our approach to implementation\, what needs to be adapted\, and how can effective use be sustained?  In the other direction\, AI is being explored as a tool to support implementation research. Applications include reviewing evidence\, identifying barriers to change\, developing implementation strategies\, and supporting evaluation. I will discuss how to assess the reliability of these contributions\, whose knowledge and perspectives they reflect\, and where local knowledge and human judgment remain essential.  I will argue that realizing AI’s promise requires asking what works\, for whom\, under what conditions\, and how to achieve lasting\, equitable benefits at scale.        Dr. Guillaume Fontaine (PhD\, MSc\, RN) is ​the Director of the McGill RISE³ Implementation Science Lab and an Assistant Professor at McGill University in Montreal\, Canada. He is a Principal Investigator in the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology at the Lady Davis Institute\, and holds visiting appointments in the Viral Hepatitis Clinical Research Program at the Kirby Institute\, UNSW Sydney\, and the Centre for Implementation Research\, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. He co-leads the Implementation Science Research Pillar for the Canadian Network on Hepatitis C\, co-leads the Methods Think Tank for the Pan-Canadian HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Research Network\, serves on the Steering Committee of Knowledge Translation Canada\, and co-chairs the Global Network on Implementation and Data Sciences. His research program focuses on applying and advancing implementation science frameworks and methodologies to improve healthcare outcomes\, \, with particular emphasis on the integration of AI into implementation research and practice.  \n\nWebcast Link: https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/92712827812\n\nRegister: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/zA5kNhjixa

DESCRIPTION:Categorical distance correlation: Concepts\, properties and applications  Qingyang Zhang\, Associate Professor of Mathematical Sciences\, University of Arkansas  Abstract: In this talk\, I will introduce categorical distance correlation (CDC)\, a simple yet powerful statistical functional for assessing dependence in categorical data. After highlighting its empirical power advantages over the traditional Chi-squared test\, I will present key theoretical properties of CDC. These include its B-robustness for fixed or diverging numbers of categories\, its asymptotic distributions under both null and alternative hypotheses\, and the sure screening properties of the maximum likelihood and unbiased estimators. I will also demonstrate its practical utility through an application to General Social Survey data. Time permitting\, I will discuss two extensions\, including CDC under general encodings (such as one-hot encoding for nominal variables and semi-circle encoding for ordinal variables) and a privacy-preserving framework for CDC.\n\nMore Info: https://statistics.northwestern.edu/events/seminars/fall-seminars.html

DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Mayank Agrawal\, Co-founder and CEO\, Proof of Human  Title:  Proof of Human: the Invisible Turing Test for the Internet  Abstract:   This presentation introduces the Process Turing Test\, a new framework for distinguishing humans from AI that goes beyond linguistic output to analyze behavioral dynamics. As LLMs routinely pass text-based Turing Tests\, we need methods that probe the underlying architecture of intelligence through perception\, control\, and decision-making patterns. Using process tracing data from canonical cognitive tasks\, we demonstrate how behavioral embeddings capture computational signatures unique to human cognition. This provides robust proof-of-personhood that resists adversarial attacks while revealing fundamental principles about how humans and machines process information differently.  Speaker Bio:  Mayank Agrawal is the co-founder and CEO of Proof of Human\, a research and deployment company building the proof-of-human layer in digital identity. The company develops high-impact research and translates that work into systems for bot detection\, fraud prevention\, and continuous authentication. Mayank’s work focuses on new approaches to distinguishing humans from AI through behavioral and cognitive signals. He earned his PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience from Princeton University\, where he studied computational models of human decision-making with Jonathan Cohen\, Tom Griffiths\, and Nathaniel Daw. His research spans cognitive science\, machine learning\, and artificial intelligence\, with work published in Science\, PNAS\, and Psychological Review. He previously studied Computer Science and Philosophy at Swarthmore College.

SUMMARY:ESAM Seminar: Dr. Calina Copos on "Symmetry Breaking\, Directed Movement\, and Organized Tissue Response from Local Interactions"
UID:647237@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Title: Symmetry Breaking\, Directed Movement\, and Organized Tissue Response from Local Interactions  Speaker: Dr. Calina Copos\, Northeastern University  Abstract: Pattern formation and symmetry breaking have long been areas of interest in applied mathematics. In living systems\, these questions take on additional complexities: molecular interactions generate dynamic intracellular structures\, individual cells develop persistent migratory behaviors\, and populations of cells coordinate their dynamics to produce spatiotemporal patterns. A central question is how do biological systems break symmetry\, select among competing dynamical states\, and coordinate response across scales?  Using cell doublets as the smallest nontrivial collective unit\, I will discuss mathematical models\, computational methods\, and dynamical systems approaches for investigating how local feedback\, geometry\, and confinement shape these collective dynamical states. We examine how mechanochemical interactions generate directional and coordinated migration\, biases\, and how nonlinear feedback and spatial coupling give rise to coherent oscillations\, traveling waves\, and other patterns. Extending these principles to larger cell clusters and tissues reveals emergent organization with implications for development\, wound healing\, and limb regeneration. These examples illustrate how mathematical models can bridge scales and uncover principles by which local interactions generate global organization.  Bio: Calina Copos is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Biology at Northeastern University. Her research group is broadly interested in mathematical biology and numerical and computational methods for PDEs\, with a particular focus on the cell cytoskeleton and cell migration in tissue development\, homeostasis\, and regeneration. Prof. Copos received her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at University of California\, Davis and did her postdoctoral work at the Courant Institute at New York University.   Zoom: https://northwestern.zoom.us/j/94290664465  -----  To subscribe to the Applied Mathematics Colloquia List send a message to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.IT.NORTHWESTERN.EDU with the command:  SUBSCRIBE esam-seminar FirstName LastName

SUMMARY:IEMS Seminar | James Kong
UID:645112@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Zhenyu "James" Kong is the Ralph H. Bogle Jr. Professor in the Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech. He received his BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from the Harbin Institute of Technology and his PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004. His research focuses on sensing and analytics for smart manufacturing\, modeling and diagnosis of large and complex manufacturing systems\, and machine learning for manufacturing applications\, and he is a Fellow of the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers.This talk consists of two parts. In the first part\, we study the inference reliability of large language models (LLMs)\, with an emphasis on characterizing how prompt design affects the accuracy and stability of model outputs. We discuss recent theoretical and empirical advances in in-context learning and hallucination\, and examine conditions under which LLMs produce reliable predictions. In the second part\, we consider constrained bilevel optimization and develop efficient algorithms with provable guarantees. In particular\, we show how error bound conditions can be leveraged to obtain fast convergence rates under mild assumptions.  \n\nMore Info: https://www.ise.vt.edu/people/faculty/kong.html
