Title: Stopping Human Trafficking: The complex legal, economic, and criminal landscape Speakers: John Powell, Joshua Hewson, and Manuchehr Aminian. Note that Manuchehr was recently a postdoc in the department of mathematics at CSU! Abstract: Banks unknowingly process financial transactions relating to Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking (MSHT) and Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) enabling criminals to generate estimated profits […]
This week we are happy to have Fenglong You speaking from the University of Oslo. Relative quantum cohomology under birational transformations I will talk about how relative quantum cohomology, defined by Tseng-You and Fan-Wu-You, varies under birational transformations. Relation with FJRW theory and extremal transitions of absolute Gromov--Witten theory will also be discussed. https://zoom.us/j/7481354483 (Meeting ID: […]
Title: Resource Allocation Optimization for Space Domain Awareness and Synthetic Aperture Radar Advisor: Dr. Margaret Cheney Committee: Dr. Jennifer Mueller, Dr. Patrick Shipman, Dr. Chandra Venkatachalam Resource allocation problems are concerned with assigning resources to tasks in a manner that optimizes the goals of that application. The applications we will consider include Space Domain Awareness […]
Danny Perez, from Los Alamos National Laboratory, will be speaking about long-time atomistic simulations and the mathematical ideas underpinning some approaches to such simulations. Atomic-scale simulations of materials using molecular dynamics (MD) are a cornerstone of computational materials science. These simulations can provide powerful insights into the mechanisms by which materials evolve and respond to external […]
Title: Molecular Configurations and Persistence: Branched alkanes and additive energies Advisor: Dr. Henry Adams Committee: Dr. Jeff Achter, Dr. Patrick Shipman, Dr. Anders Fremstad Energy landscapes are high-dimensional functions that encapsulate how certain molecular properties affect the energy of a molecule. Chemists use disconnectivity graphs to find transition paths, the lowest amount of energy needed […]

Title: Determining synchronization of certain classes of primitive groups of affine type Advisor: Dr. Alexander Hulpke Committee: Dr. Maria Gillespie, Dr. Henry Adams, Dr. Norman Buchanan The class of permutation groups includes 2-homogeneous groups, synchronizing groups, and primitive groups. Moreover, 2-homogeneous implies synchronizing, and synchronizing in turn implies primitivity. A complete classification of synchronizing groups […]
Sonia Kovalevsky Women in Math Day is an opportunity for high school students and their teachers to join the CSU Mathematics Department in celebrating women in mathematics! CSU’s inaugural SK Day occurred on March 12, 2020. Our first year had over 150 young women register! We explored topology, cryptography, game theory, and got to hear […]
