Some Highlights from the 2016 SIAM Annual Meeting

I highlight some presentations from the 2016 SIAM Annual Meeting.

 

Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Rioting Activity: A Reaction-Diffusion Approach

Berestycki, Nadal, and Rodríguez introduced and analyzed some systems of partial differential equations that serve as basic models for the spread of rioting activity. 

Special issue of SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization

Call for papers for the special issue of SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization on Control and Optimization in Cooperative Networks; submission deadline November 1, 2006.

Spiral Waves in Oscillatory Media with Nonlocal Coupling

Gabriela Jaramillo from the University of Houston demonstrates, for a general oscillatory model with nonlocal coupling, the existence of spiral waves by first deriving an amplitude equation, then using the methods of multiple scales to identify terms in the spiral wave solutions to multiple orders, and finally numerically showing how nonlocal interactions shape the spirals.

Stability and Oscillations of Nonlinear Pulse-Modulated Systems

Authors: Arkadii Kh. Gelig and Alexander N. Churilov
Reviewer: Alois Steindl, Institute for Mechanics, Vienna University of Technology

Stokes' Phenomenon and Nanoptera

Chris Lustri talks about exponential asymptotics and its applications to Stokes phenomena and nanoptera in dynamical systems.

Stratocumulus Clouds and Predator-prey Dynamics

Rebecca Gjini constructs a low-dimensional model of stratocumulus clouds inspired by predator-prey dynamics.

Student Feature - Andrus Giraldo Munoz

Andrus Giraldo Munoz is a Research Fellow at the University of Auckland working alongside professors Bernd Krauskopf and Neil Broderick on the dynamics of two coupled photonic crystal nanocavities.

Student Feature - Colin Klaus

Colin Klaus is a postdoctoral research fellow at The Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) with research interests in parabolic partial differential equations and multi-scale techniques (e.g., homogenization), especially applied to problems motivated by biology.

Student Feature - Jasper Weinburd

Jasper is in the last year of his PhD at the U of Minnesota where he works in pattern-formation with Arnd Scheel. This fall he heads to Harvey Mudd College where he is incredibly grateful to be supported by an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship. He writes about his research interests in self-organized patterns and how the topic of his postdoc research grew from an AMS program facilitating mathematical community.

Student Feature - Joshua Garland

Joshua Garland is an Omidyar Postdoctoral Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute. He received his Ph. D. from the University of Colorado (supervised by Elizabeth Bradley), an M.S. in Applied Mathematics also from the University of Colorado, and a dual B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Colorado Mesa University.

Student Feature - Kelly Finn

Kelly is a 3rd year PhD student in the Animal Behavior Graduate Group at the University of California Davis.  Her advisor is Dr. Brenda McCowan of the school of Veterinary Medicine, and she also collaborates with Dr. Eliza Bliss-Moreau from the Psychology Department, Dr. Raissa D’Souza and Dr. Jim Crutchfield of the Complexity Sciences Center, and Dr. Andrew MacIntosh of Kyoto University.  

Student Feature - Priya Subramanian

Priya Subramanian is a Hooke fellow at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford where her research focuses on the intersection of pattern formation and soft matter.
