TITLE:

A RANDOM WALK THROUGH BIOMATHEMATICS (No. 117)

DATE:

Friday, April 14th, 2006

TIME:

3:30 PM

LOCATION:

GMCS 214

SPEAKER:

Peter Salamon, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, San Diego State University

ABSTRACT:

The talk will present an overview and some highlights from the

biomathematics happening around SDSU with special emphasis on available

student projects. The projects described include the efforts of two

vertically integrated study groups: the mitochondrion group and the phage

group. The questions studied by the mitochondrion group concern membrane

shape and energetics on the one hand and image restoration and

interpretation on the other. The questions studied by the phage group range

wider and include metagenomics, population modeling, evolutionary games,

phylogenetics, ultrametric spaces, and Googlean random walks.
