Colloquium: Jin Liu
On Friday, April 16 at 2:00 PICS will host a virtual colloquium featuring Professor Jin Liu of Washington State University. Title: Modeling and simulations of protein conformational changes and virus entry Abstract: Virus infections remain major threats to human health worldwide. Viruses are intracellular parasites, and must enter host cells and deliver their genetic material to initiate infection. Virus entry is a highly complex process that may involve hundreds of trans-membrane and peripheral membrane proteins. This highly complex process is…

On Friday, April 23 at 2:00 PICS will host a colloquium featuring Associate Professor Kunihiko (Sam) Taira of UCLA. Title: Network-Based Characterization, Modeling, and Control of Fluid Flows Abstract: The network of interactions in a sea of vortices gives rise to the amazingly rich dynamics of fluid flows. To describe these interactions, we consider the use of mathematical tools from the emerging field of network science that is comprised of graph theory, dynamical systems, data science, and control theory. In…
