Speaker: Alexandria Volkening, Northwestern Univiersity Title: Modeling and analysis of zebrafish-skin patterns Many natural and social phenomena involve individual agents coming together to create group dynamics, whether they are cells in a skin pattern, voters in an election, or pedestrians in a crowded room. Here I will focus on the example of pattern formation in…

Speaker: William Gilpin, Harvard Quantitative Biology Initiative Title: Chaos and emergent computation in biological dynamics Experimental measurements of biological systems often have a limited number of independent channels, hindering the construction of interpretable models of living processes. Dynamical systems theory provides a rich set of tools for inferring underlying mathematical structure from partial observations, yet translating…
