Title:
Two Inference Problems in Dynamical Systems from Mathematical and Computational Biology

Speaker:
Wenjun Zhao

Abstract:
This talk will discuss two inference problems in dynamical systems, both motivated by applications in mathematical biology. First, we will discuss the classical gene regulatory network inference problem for time-stamped single-cell datasets and recent advances in optimal transport-based methods for this task. Second, if time permits, I will present an algorithm for bifurcation tracing, which aims to identify interfaces in parameter space. Applications to agent-based models and spatially extended reaction-diffusion equations will be demonstrated, both of which simulate Turing patterns commonly observed in animal skin, vegetation patterns, and more.
