October 12 | Quantum Groups at the Boundaries of Mathematics and Physics 3:30 PM | ANSC 119 |
Cris Negron "I will talk about quantum groups and their appearances in various sub-fields of physics. We will begin with a relatively gentle introduction to tensor categories; beginning with the familiar examples of vector spaces and finite group representations. We'll then introduce the primary object of interest, quantum groups. I will explain how quantum groups arise in conformal, topological, and now supersymmetric quantum field theories. At the conclusion, I will describe the boundaries of our current knowledge on these topics, and some exciting new mathematics which appears to be just over the horizon. The talk is designed to be accessible to a broad audience of mathematicians." |
October 17 | Data Science Seminar 4:00 PM | ANSC 119 |
Seth Poulsen (USU CS) Proof Blocks and Why You Should Care About Educational Statistics |
October 19 | Data Science Projects and Technologies at Sandia National Laboratories 3:30 PM | ANSC 119 |
Scott Jenkins "This presentation will give a high level overview of Data Science projects and technologies at Sandia. This includes Tracktable, a cross-platform library for analysis and visualization of the trajectories of moving objects. In addition, I will talk about some of the navigation related technologies that my group works on and how Data Science can be applied to those areas." |
November 9 | Bridging Data Science and Neuroscience: Opportunities in Analyzing Mouse Brain Connectivity and Function 3:30 PM | ANSC 119 |
Dimitri Yatsenko, CEO at DataJoint This seminar explores collaborative efforts to decipher neurophysiology recordings from mouse brains and the detailed analysis of neuronal connectivity through electron microscopy. We'll discuss the methodologies employed to streamline data pipelines and computations in such vast collaborative projects. Furthermore, the seminar will spotlight exciting opportunities for data science students to immerse themselves in this cutting-edge intersection of neuroscience and computational analysis. |
