Applied Mathematics Seminar

Conference/Seminar

Title: Integrating genetic and environmental data to model and forecast movement and habitat use in the major insect vector of sleeping sickness in Uganda (Glossina fuscipes fuscipes).

Speaker: Norah Saarman, Biology Department, USU

ZOOM ID: 945 1753 3441 PWD: USUAMS

Abstract: Tsetse flies (genus Glossina) are the obligate vectors of the trypanosome parasite that cause animal nagana and human sleeping sickness. One of the most effective strategies in controlling these dangerous and costly diseases is through vector control. Establishing feasible programs that reduce on-the-ground disease risk require knowledge of vector movement and habitat use. We use a novel machine learning strategy based on genetic data, field records, and remotely-sensed environmental data to model and predict both vector movement and habitat use across the landscape.

Applied Mathematics Seminar: A Gentle Introduction to Computational Statistical Catallactics

Conference/Seminar

Speaker: Tyler J. Brough, Jon M. Huntsman School of Business

ZOOM ID: 945 1753 3441 PWD: USUAMS

Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce you to the catallactic point of view of the Nobel Prize winners F.A. Hayek and James Buchanan. I will further discuss directions that I am now taking in my research agenda to deliver on Buchanan's challenge to create a sophisticated catallactics within economics. I will discuss how we can develop tools from the Agent-Based Computational Economics (ACE) tradition that are appropriate for this purpose. We will confront the critique of ACE models put forth by Steven Durlauf and offer ways to address this critique. I will discuss my current research into the options market-making function of derivatives markets as an application of these methods.
