Speaker: Qijia Jiang, Assistant Professor, Department of Statistics, UC Davis
Title: "Applied Mathematics Beyond the Textbook"
Abstract: : I plan to share a few vignettes of my research evolving around the general themes of {optimization, MCMC sampling, diffusion model, Neural PDE solver} over the years. Throughout, I hope to reflect a bit on how machine learning is changing the way scientific computation is done, and point out the many connections across different sub-fields of Applied Math, as well as exciting synergies between Applied Math and the broader natural sciences disciplines.
