Colloquium Heather Smith, Davidson College Discrete Models for Genome Rearrangement October 25 at 11:00 in Manchester 020 With the natural occurrence of mutations in the genome and the wide range of effects these can incite, scientists seek to understand the evolutionary relationship among current species. Genome rearrangement is a…
Assistant Professor of Statistics Applications are invited for three tenure-track positions in statistics to begin July 2019, to meet the rapidly growing demand for statistics at Wake Forest University and to lay the foundation for continued development. We seek a cohort of new faculty with a commitment to excellence…
Stochastic Dynamics in Magnetic Systems Katie Newhall UNC Chapel Hill 11:00 am in Manchester 020 Thursday, October 18, 2018 As magnetic devices become smaller, understanding thermal noise effects becomes more important to ensuring proper function. One example is thermally-induced transition times in the case of spin-polarized currents for which standard…
