Title: How can Machine Learning Help Mathematicians?

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has demonstrated remarkable achievements across diverse fields, from natural language processing to mastering complex games like chess. This naturally raises the question: can AI assist mathematicians in solving open problems in mathematics? This talk aims to address this question. We will explore how AI models can be trained to provide valuable insights into several mathematical questions from different areas of mathematics and applied mathematics. We will then present examples of AI models specifically trained to prove mathematical theorems on their own.

Title: The Minimal Euclidean Function on the Gaussian Integers

Abstract: Motzkin proved that every Euclidean domain $R$ has a minimal Euclidean function, $\phi_R$ . He showed that when $R = \mathbb{Z}$, the minimal function is $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}} (x) =\ log 2_ |x|$. For over seventy years, $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}}$ was the only example of an explicitly-computed minimal function in a number field. We give the first explicitly-computed minimal function in a non-trivial number field, $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}[i]}$ . The proof introduces a new way to visualize quotients $\mathbb{Z}[i]$. This talk is accessible to undergraduates.

Title: Guiding Clinical Decisions with Molecular Information provided by Direct Mass Spectrometry Technologies

Abstract: Mass spectrometry techniques that allow direct and fast molecular analysis of clinical samples offer the exciting opportunity to incorporate molecular data into clinical practice to expedite clinical decision making and thus improve diagnosis and patient care. In this seminar, I will discuss developments and applications of direct mass spectrometry techniques for use in clinical microbiology labs, clinical pathology labs, and in the operating room. Key operational principles, depth of molecular data, and the analytical and diagnostic performance metrics achieved with these techniques for disease detection will be discussed to provide a critical assessment of their capabilities and potential uses within the context of routine clinical practice. My presentation will focus on results obtained in ongoing clinical studies employing the MasSpec Pen Technology to guide clinical decision making. Challenges and opportunities in implementing the technology into clinical workflows will also be discussed.

Improving Leadership to Support Trauma-Exposed Professionals [Webinar]

Improving Leadership to Support Trauma-Exposed Professionals [Webinar]

When:
Thursday, October 24, 2024
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Where:
ONLINE: Zoom
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Attention leaders in high-stress industries: Are your employees experiencing high degrees of workplace stress? Are they facing adversities or exposed to traumatic events? Employees in public safety, health care, the military, social services, legal services and many other professions face situations that have the potential to cause psychological injuries. These employees have aptly been described as trauma-exposed professionals. 

It is not just critical incidents that can cause post-traumatic stress injuries. Accumulated exposure to critical incidents and organizational stressors can affect employees’ health and result in medical leaves, retention difficulties and a host of other personal and organizational challenges. Unsupportive organizational cultures and poor leadership can contribute significantly to the severity of the injuries and their consequences.

On Thursday, October 24 at 1 p.m. (ET), join us for this free 60-minute webinar that will offer information and resources for leaders of trauma-exposed professionals. In this session, led by Jana Raver, Professor of Organizational Behaviour at Smith School of Business, and Megan McElheran, Clinical Psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of Wayfound Mental Health Group, you’ll discover how to proactively prevent psychological injuries and create workplace cultures that support the extremely difficult work these professionals accomplish.
