Research

The CADES team conducts research into foundational theory in computational mathematics and statistics to increase accuracy and efficiency of numerical models. The research impacts applied domains involving wave propagation, optical devices, forecasting of weather, air quality, and drought, templates of disease progression in cancer and dementia, and multifacility location problems for warehouse and wireless services. All projects involve high performance computing and open-source scientific software products.

September 13, 2022: First PSU workshop on learning nonparametric differential equations from data

Co-sponsored by  a Google Research Award and NSF RTG grant DMS-2136228  

Background: Consider data arising from a differential equation, ordinary, partial, or stochastic. This data is univariate, multivariate, or functional and observed with noise at a small number of time points. How to learn these differential equations? Are they even learnable? If yes, what guarantee can be provided? We are interested in the nonparametric case when there is no known analytical form for the differential equations. 

When: Tuesday, September 13th, 9 am to 5 pm. 

Where: Portland State University, FMH-4-462 MTH LargeConferenceRoom

Program: Includes talk by PSU faculty and students, Kamel Lahouel (TGen), and round table discussion with the attendees, including Dr. Ehsan Variani, from Google Inc.
