This year's annual summit celebrates graduate students and their research in mathematical biology at PIMS universities through three main scientific events: research talk and graduate-level workshop in interacting particle systems by Dr Stephen M...

In this talk I explain a promising and previously unnoticed link between electronic structure of molecules and optimal transportation (OT), and I give some first results. The ‘exact’ mathematical model for electronic structure, the many-electron...

The course will cover modelling and analysis of ecological populations. The focus will be model formulation, mathematical analysis and biological insight. Subjects will be taken from: single species models (stochastic, continuous time, delay...

The wave concept is arguably the most widely used single concept in all of physical science. It links together such diverse disciplines as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and physiology. The wave concept is one that unifies many...

Order convergence on a partially ordered set is a topological-like structure induced by the order, which usually fails to be an "actual" topology. However, on Boolean algebras and vector lattices this convergence satisfies the definition of a so...

A novel statistical method is presented for the integrative analysis of Riemannian-valued and high-dimensional functional data. This model is motivated by the need to model the dependence structure between each subject's dynamic functional...

A collection of identical and independent rare event first passage times is considered. The problem of finding the fastest out of $N$ such events to occur is called an extreme first passage time. The rare event times are singular and limit to...

Many biological populations reside in increasingly fragmented landscape, where habitat quality may change abruptly in space. A reaction-diffusion model for a single species population which propagates in a heterogeneous landscape in a one-dimensional...
