Homology and Data Samples
Shmuel Weinberger
2:00pm|S-101

In this talk, I will try to explain some of the interest in the question of the computation of the homology of a space from noisy data samples as it relates to clustering and other natural problems. Moreover, I will also try to indicate some...

Stimulus Space Topology and Geometry from Neural Activity
Carina Curto
5:00pm|S-101

We construct our understanding of the world solely from neuronal activity generated in our brains. How do we do this? Many studies have investigated how the electrical activity of neurons (action potentials) is related to outside stimuli, and maps...

Computational Topology in the Study of Discrete Dynamical Systems
Sarah Day
3:30pm|S-101

With recent advances in computing power, numerical studies of nonlinear dynamical systems have become increasingly more popular. However, errors inherent to such studies may obscure the dynamics, or in the very least raise doubts about the existence...

Electrical and Systems Engineering
Daniel Koditschek
2:00pm|Hill Center, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (CoRe 433)

My collaborators and I have spent a the better part of two decades seeking to develop formally and apply empirically methods of programming work: that is, we want to know how to say what we mean, yet mean what we say to a machine built for...

Knots in Proteins
Alexander Grosberg
3:30pm|Hill Center, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (CoRe 433)

Proteins with knots in their native state were discovered few years ago. Analysis of the entire protein data base indicates that there are quite a few proteins with knots, particularly with slip knots, but still the fraction of proteins with knots...
