Self-assembly and Particle Aggregation in Stratified Fluids

Camassa and McLaughlin experimentally discover particle aggregates due to no-flux boundary-induced attraction.

Sensor Networks, Algebraic Topology, and Dynamics

Robert Ghrist gives an overview of how algebraic topology and dynamical systems are being applied to the engineering problem of sensor placement and data collection. Ghrist's work in this field with collaborator Vin de Silva, Pomona College earned them a 2007 SciAm 50 award, Scientific American's list of the fifty most important advancements in technology and innovation.

Sequence Generation in Inhibition-dominated Neural Networks

The authors summarize their recent SIADS article using dynamical systems to identify sequential attractors that emerge given the architectures of a special class of neural networks that are inhibition-dominated.

Shifting Consensus in a Biased Compromise Model

Olivia Cannon summarizes recent research analyzing the spatiotemporal dynamics of opinion clusters in a biased compromise model.

Short Amphiphilic Molecules: Curve Lengthening, Defects, and the Role of Cholesterol

Yuan Chen, Andrew Christlieb, Keith Promislow, Frits Veerman, and Sulin Wang report on their research project where they derived a singularly perturbed problem for the cholesterol-loaded structure embedded within the singular scaling of the phospholipid bilayer and showed that the cholesterol sublayer robustly stabilizes the membrane to defect-generating pearling perturbations.
