Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar1:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Ihsan Topaloglu, Virginia Commonwealth University
Title: “A Variational model involving nonlocal interactions of Wasserstein type”
Abstract: In this talk, I will consider a variational problem which appears in models of bilayer membranes. After introducing and deriving the model I will establish the existence of volume-constrained minimizers where the energy functional consists of two competing terms: a surface energy term penalizing transitions between sets and a nonlocal energy involving the Wasserstein distance between equal volume sets. In the second part of the talk I will consider the maximization of the minimum Wasserstein distance between two given sets, and show that this maximum is obtained by a ball. These results are drawn from joint works with Almut Burchard, Davide Carazzato, Michael Novack, and Raghavendra Venkatraman.The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.
This seminar will be held virtually.

Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series12:20pmSpeaker: Dr. Saumya Jain, Georgia Institute of Technology
Title: “Control of Neurodevelopmental genetic programs by nature and nurture”
Abstract: The assembly of the brain and development of neuronal circuits critically depend upon the expression of the right sets of genes at the right time and place. Indeed, disruption of spatial and temporal gene expression programs can have profound effects on circuit formation and is implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. The goal of my lab is to identify genetically hardwired and experience-dependent mechanisms that control gene expression across space and time in developing nervous systems. In this talk I will share our discovery of temporal control of gene expression by a steroid hormone in the fruit fly nervous system, the role and development of spatial gradients of gene expression in the mouse cortex, and roles for early sensory experience in the control of developmental gene expression in the mouse visual cortex.The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics. Guest speakers come from local, regional, and national universities to share their research work. The MBIG seminar will take place in-person on Fridays from 12:20 – 1:45 pm in the Clendenin Building, room CL 2010. All faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to attend.

Learning-Centered Teaching10:30amLearning-Centered Teaching
Event Type: In-Person
Facilitator: Michele DiPietro
As Patricia Cross aptly states, “teaching without learning is just talking.” In the last decades we have witnessed a move away from teacher- or content-centered teaching and toward learning-centered teaching. While not a completely realized paradigm shift yet, the buzzword has become part of higher education discourse, to the point that most educators have heard it but few can define what it actually entails. In this workshop, you will be introduced to the 5 elements of learning-centered teaching, examine the opportunities and challenges of this approach, and brainstorm concrete course strategies for your own teaching.To register, please go log in to OwlTrain and register on the event page here.

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar11:00amSpeaker: Seongmin Jeon, Hanyang University
Title: “The free boundary for a superlinear system”
Abstract: In this paper, we study superlinear systems that give rise to free boundaries. Such systems appear for example from the minimization of the energy functional$$
\int_{\Omega}\left(|\nabla\mathbf{u}|^2+\frac2p|\mathbf{u}|^p\right),\quad 0<p<1,
$$
but solutions can be also understood in an ad hoc viscosity way. First, we prove the optimal regularity of minimizers using a variational approach. Then, we apply a linearization technique to establish the $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity of the ``flat'' part of the free boundary via a viscosity method. Finally, for minimizing free boundaries, we extend this result to analyticity.The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.
This seminar will be held virtually.

Mathematics Colloquium Series2:00pmSpeaker: Dr. Cara Sulyok
Title: “Mathematical Models of Disease Transmission and Control in Healthcare Settings”Abstract: Mathematical modeling is a useful technique to describe dynamics happening within events and allows one to address questions and test hypotheses that may be not be feasible to study in reality. By applying techniques from calculus, mathematical models allow us to describe complex systems. These models serve as bridges between mathematics and practical applications, helping to simplify intricate problems into solvable equations, enabling predictions and decision-making based on data. This talk will focus on mathematical models to describe the spread of infectious diseases.
Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is the leading cause of infectious diarrhea and one of the most frequently identified healthcare-acquired infections in the United States. C. difficile is typically contracted after antibiotic use, when healthy gut microbiota that prevent colonization is compromised. Colonized patients, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, shed C. difficile endospores that can survive for long periods on surfaces outside the host and are resistant to many commonly-used disinfectants. Transmission pathways can include contact with endospores on fomites, objects likely to carry infection. This work includes various mathematical models aimed at quantifying the transmission of C. difficile in healthcare settings ranging from systems of ordinary differential equations to agent-based models. We investigate the relative contribution of environmental pathways and healthcare workers to C. difficile transmission in healthcare settings. Results can be applied by healthcare professionals by focusing on precautionary measures that reduce patient colonization with C. difficile.

Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series12:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Zhicheng Jin, Georgia State University
Title: "Engineering Ligand and Peptide Materials for Theranostic Applications"Abstract: The applications of nanotechnology and materials science have transformed biomedical research, particularly in diagnostics and therapeutics. As critical features shrink to the nanometer scale, precise control of surface properties and biophysical interactions becomes essential for optimizing performance in biological systems. In this talk, I will first introduce strategies for interfacing nanoparticles with biological environments using multifunctional ligands. I will then highlight two colorimetric enzyme-sensing mechanisms that leverage peptide design and colorant materials (i.e., gold nanoparticles and organic dyes). Finally, I will expand the discussion beyond sensing to therapeutic applications. Specifically, I will describe how nanoscale coacervates can serve as promising delivery vehicles for the sustained release of hydrophilic small molecules, enabling the safe and effective use of tetrodotoxin (TTX) as a local anesthetic for improved pain therapy.
Bio: Zhicheng Jin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Georgia State University. He completed his postdoctoral training with Dr. Jesse V. Jokerst at the University of California, San Diego, in the Department of NanoEngineering (CA, USA). He earned his Ph.D. from Florida State University (FL, USA) in 2020 under the supervision of Dr. Hedi Mattoussi and Dr. Qing-Xiang Amy Sang. He received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from Lanzhou University (China) in 2015 and studied as an exchange student at Texas Tech University (TX, USA). His current research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of peptide materials as sensing probes and drug delivery vehicles to improve diagnostics and patient outcomes. He has co-authored more than 80 journal articles and holds one patent. Dr. Jin is an Associate Editor of Engineering Reports journal (Wiley), and a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). He also serves as a session chair at the SPIE conference. His contributions to surface chemistry have been recognized by the scientific community with the Young Investigator Award at the 2020 SPIE conference.

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar1:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Giorgio Saracco, UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI FIRENZE
Title: “The prescribed mean curvature equation under low regularity assumptions”
Abstract: Given an open set Omega and a positive constant H, does it exist a cartesian hypersurface defined on Omega whose mean curvature is constantly H? Equivalently, can one find a function u on Omega, whose graph has mean curvature constantly H? This question leads to the nonlinear elliptic prescribed mean curvature PDE.Foundational results by Concus, Finn, and Giusti establish that, assuming Omega is Lipschitz, there exists a geometric threshold h(Omega) such that existence of solutions is guaranteed if H>h(Omega), while non existence occurs for H<h(Omega). Interesting phenomena arise at the threshold. In the physically relevant case, that is, Omega is 2-dimensional, and assuming C^2 convexity, an elegant geometric criterion on the curvature of Omega characterizes the regimes of existence and non-existence..
In a series of works partly in collaboration with Gian Paolo Leonardi, we extend these results to low regularity settings by removing the Lipschitz assumption on Omega. This necessitates developing a refined functional framework, including the introduction of Gauss—Green formulas under weak regularity conditions. Moreover, we generalize the two-dimensional geometric criterion by relaxing convexity assumptions and relying solely on appropriate one-sided bounds on the reach of Omega.
The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

Discrete Mathematics Seminar (DMS)2:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Michael Griffin, Kennesaw State University
Title: “Hecke-towers and modular product formulas”
Abstract: There are three important product formulas for expressions of the type $\prod (j(\sigma) − j(z) ) . Here j is the modular j-invariant which distinguishes isomorphism classes of elliptic curves and generates the field of modular functions for SL2(Z), and z and $\sigma$ are each either complex variables or run over a complete set of representatives of classes of imaginary quadratic numbers of fixed discriminant. These three identities are:1) The denominator formula for the Monster Lie-algebra,
2) Borcherd’s product formulas for the Hilbert class functions,
3) The Gross–Zagier formula for norms of singular moduli.
Borcherds notes that, despite the similarity of the “left hand sides” of these identities, their proofs are wildly different, and “there does not seem to be any obvious way to deduce any of these 3 formulas from the others.” Motivated by this statement, we will show how these three identities can be derived from a cohesive theory, each identity building from the previous, and rooted in the algebraic structure of spaces of modular objects.

Mathematics Colloquium Series2:00pmSpeaker: Dr. Jon McCammond, University of California, Santa Barbara
Title: “Complex polynomials, braided strings and non-crossing partitions”Abstract: One of the fascinating things about advanced mathematics is how areas that seem to be far apart end up being closely related. Consider, for example, the "space" of all complex polynomials of a fixed degree restricted to those with distinct roots. There is a classic way to view this as a complement of a union of hyperplanes in a high-dimensional complex vector space, and the loops in this space can be visualized by braided strings in our normal 3-dimensional space. There is also a more recent connection to the combinatorial objects known as non-crossing partitions. This talk is based on joint work with Michael Dougherty.
Join us before the talk at 2:00 pm for tea with our speaker.
The KSU Mathematics Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in researchers from other universities to present results on all areas of Mathematics. The talks are targeted at general audiences of students and professors.

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar1:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Edgard Pimentel, University of Coimbra
Title: “Beyond convexity: regularity theory for fully nonlinear equations and free boundary problems”
Abstract: Convexity is a cornerstone of the regularity theory for fully nonlinear elliptic equations. It is also foundational to much of the modern analysis of free boundary problems governed by nonlinear operators. Nevertheless, many natural models fall outside the convex framework. This talk presents recent strategies that circumvent the lack of convexity in certain classes of PDE and free boundary problems. Rather than focusing on the scope of these methods, the discussion focuses on situations in which convexity and the structure it provides remain critical. The talk concludes by outlining the limits of current theory and probing new directions of research.The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions.

Discrete Mathematics Seminar (DMS)2:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Joshua Stucky, Georgia Institute of Technology
Title: “The distribution of gcd((n,\phi(n)))”
Abstract: Erd\H{o}s showed that the number of $n\leq x$ such that $gcd((n,\phi(n))=1$ is asymptotic to $x/\log\log\log x$. This was later improved by Pollack to a more precise asymptotic formula. In this talk, I will discuss the distribution of a family of multiplicative functions over the set of integers $(n,\phi(n))$, $n\leq x$. Along the way, I'll give some historical background and try to underscore the main sieve-theoretic ideas of my research. Graduate students and even advanced undergraduates are invited to join.The Discrete Math Seminar (DMS) is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of algebra, number theory, and discrete mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions.

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar1:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Gian Paolo Leonardi, University of Trento
Title: “Free-boundary properties of perimeter almost-minimizers in non-smooth domains”
Abstract: While interior regularity theory for almost-minimizers of the perimeter functional has been established since 1984, much less is known about the boundary behavior, even of full minimizers of the relative perimeter, when the boundary of the container is not smooth enough. We aim to develop tools for studying the boundary regularity problem in non-smooth settings. Our first result is a monotonicity formula proved when the container satisfies a so-called visibility property from a given boundary point. Then, we show that almost-minimizers in 3-dimensional convex containers always "skip" the vertices of the container, and that this is false in dimension 5 or higher. This is a collaboration with Giacomo Vianello (University of Padova).The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.
This seminar will be held virtually.

Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series9:30amSpeaker: Dr. Nathan Byer, Research and Database Manager for Cleveland Metroparks
Title: “Occupational, evolutionary, and ecological perspectives on adaptation”
Abstract: Before beginning this position, Nathan earned his BS and MS from Towson University, earned his PhD from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and worked as a postdoc at the University of Nevada, Reno. Much of Nathan's work during this time was focused on understanding adaptation, and his diverse research included organisms like rare turtles and mammals with specialized diets. Today, Nathan designs and implements research to manage >25,000 acres of parks—drawing upon the lessons learned from his academic background. His seminar focuses on the importance of adaptation—for organisms to respond to environmental change, for organizations to respond to management goals, and for individuals to respond to challenges in their careers. It's a great perspective for our students charting their own career paths after graduation.The Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series focuses on biological topics at the scale of whole organisms, their ecology, and the evolutionary relationships among them. Guest speakers come from universities, governmental agencies, NGOs, zoos, museums, and other institutions. The EEBOB seminar is an opportunity to learn about career paths and research in the biology discipline, and for students to engage with professionals in a wide variety of biology careers.
This seminar series consists of a pre-recorded seminar, which will be posted to a playlist at the beginning of each week, and a live, virtual Q&A session with the speaker. All are welcome to attend!

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar1:30pmSpeaker: Rahul Sethi, Georgia Institute of Technology
Title: “A High-Frequency Uncertainty Principle for the Fourier-Bessel Transform”
Abstract: Motivated by problems in control theory concerning decay rates for the damped wave equation $$w_{tt}(x,t) + \gamma(x) w_t(x,t) + (-\Delta + 1)^{s/2} w(x,t) = 0,$$ we consider an analogue of the classical Paneah-Logvinenko-Sereda theorem for the Fourier Bessel transform. In particular, if $E \subset \mathbb{R}^+$ is $\mu_\alpha$-relatively dense (where $d\mu_\alpha(x) \approx x^{2\alpha+1}\, dx$) for $\alpha > -1/2$, and $\operatorname{supp} \mathcal{F}_\alpha(f) \subset [R,R+1]$, then we show $$\|f\|_{L^2_\alpha(\mathbb{R}^+)} \lesssim \|f\|_{L^2_\alpha(E)},$$ for all $f\in L^2_\alpha(\mathbb{R}^+)$, where the constants in $\lesssim$ do not depend on $R > 0$. Previous results on PLS theorems for the Fourier-Bessel transform by Ghobber and Jaming (2012) provide bounds that depend on $R$. In contrast, our techniques yield bounds that are independent of $R$, offering a new perspective on such results. This result is applied to derive decay rates of radial solutions of the damped wave equation. This is joint work with Ben Jaye.The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions.

Discrete Mathematics Seminar (DMS)2:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Esther Banaian, University of California, Riverside
Title: “The cyclic sieving phenomenon and frieze patterns”
Abstract: Frieze patterns are arrays of numbers such that each 2 by 2 square forms a matrix of determinant 1. Several important classes of frieze patterns are in correspondence with non-crossing sets of arcs in various surfaces; in particular, Conway and Coxeter famously showed that finite frieze patterns of positive integers are in bijection with triangulations of polygons. With a goal of enumerating frieze patterns up to shift, we study cyclic equivalence classes of dissections of polygons and once-punctured polygons, using the framework of the cyclic sieving phenomenon. We also describe a correspondence between frieze patterns and p-Dyck paths and exhibit a new operation on p-Dyck paths induced by shifting the rows of a frieze pattern. This is based on joint work with Adams which is available at arxiv:2509.17258.The Discrete Math Seminar (DMS) is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of algebra, number theory, and discrete mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions.

Physics Colloquium1:30pmSpeaker: Dr. David Garofalo, Kennesaw State University
Title: "One Hundred Years of the Universe: The science, the scientists, and the culture behind a century of ideas"
Abstract: One hundred years ago, a paper was presented at the American Astronomical Society on a groundbreaking discovery: the Universe extended far beyond the Milky Way. But the person responsible for the discovery did not dare to present the result. As revolutionary as the idea was, within four years an even more radical idea would emerge. The Universe was not only larger, but space moved, stretched, and expanded. Prior to the turn of the century, astronomers would discover that our expanding Universe harbored black holes, dark matter, and dark energy. While black holes were finally accepted after 50 years of controversy, and dark matter became the dominant paradigm for the formation of galaxies after two generations, dark energy was accepted rapidly. These ideas are presented through the prism of the scientific culture in which the discoveries emerged, including anecdotes and personal experiences.
The year 2025 also marks 100 years of quantum mechanics, another intellectual revolution. Just as quantum theory transformed our understanding of the microscopic world, cosmological discoveries expanded our vision of the Universe itself. Together, they represent twin revolutions—one at the smallest scales of atoms and particles, the other at the largest scales of galaxies and cosmic expansion—that continue to define modern physics.
Mathematics Colloquium Series2:00pmSpeaker: Dr. Summer Atkins, University of Alabama in Huntsville
Title: “Regularization techniques for solving singular control problems in mathematical biology”Abstract: Optimal control theory has been a promising tool in mathematical biology. In some cases, the problem may have the control variable appear linearly in both the state equations and in the objective functional. The optimal control for such a problem can have a singular region, a region of nonzero measure for which the switching function (the partial derivative of the Hamiltonian with respect to the control) is zero. Finding explicit solutions for the singular case can be particularly difficult, but what's even more challenging is that numerical solvers are prone to oscillatory artifacts. In this talk, we consider using total variation regularization to regularize these oscillatory artifacts, and we demonstrate numerical solutions to multiple biologically relevant singular control problems.
Join us before the talk at 2:00 pm for tea with our speaker.

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar9:30amSpeaker: Mihir Tanguturi and Michael Zhang
Title: “Towards Maxwell's Equations on fractals”
Abstract: In our talk we will first describe our summer internship (2025) experience at KSU, ranging from our day-to-day work to some highlights like visiting a fractal visualization center! After reviewing some ideas in vector calculus, we will motivate the differential geometry ideas needed for the rest of our talk. Specifically, we will consider more generalized differential operators in the context of strongly local regular Dirichlet forms. After going over this construction, we will show a closability result for a functional related to the generalized curl in this setting, one of the main theorems we came up with over the summer. Finally, we will use the adjoint of this generalized curl to establish weak solutions to the time dependent Maxwell system using abstract Hilbert space theory.The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

Math Talks Seminar Series3:00pmSpeaker: Irina Pashchenko, Kennesaw State University
Title: "First Digit Probability and Benford's Law"
Abstract: The talk will focus on how the first digit probabilities group of continuous real-valued functions can be calculated. Examples will explain how the probabilities are related to specific real-life situations. A summary of all basic algebraic functions will be given along with explanation of how Benford's formula is derived without additional guiding sources. Ms. Pashchenko conducted research involving comprehensive analysis of a group of discrete functions by approximating the functions to the above-mentioned continuous ones, taking limits, and other methods. In her talk, she will discuss how this approach can be applied to calculating the first digit probabilities of more advanced functions. For example, the technique is useful when working to identify the nature of a large set of highly approximate numbers.The Department of Mathematics Math Talks Seminar Series is open to all KSU faculty, students, and invited visitors to present any math or math-related topic.

Using Discussions Effectively in Online Courses1:00pmDo you use discussions in your online courses? Or do you totally avoid them because you want to eliminate inane exchanges between students that makes no sense and adds no value to the class or to their learning? Do you think it’s important for students to engage in online discussions, but you are not sure how to proceed? Have you used discussions, but they have not been as effective or engaging? Or you have never really thought about the usefulness of discussions as an engagement and interactive tool in online teaching and learning? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, this webinar is for you.
During the “Using Discussions Effectively in Online Courses” webinar session, we will demonstrate how instructors can effectively include discussions in their online courses, how they can make grading these discussions less of a chore and more of a learning experience for students and how incorporating discussions based on high fidelity topics can add value to learning opportunities for students and help them understand concepts through peer interaction and instructor guidance.

Title: “Chemical tools for interrogating proteins in the immune system”
Abstract: The talk will summarize how my lab uses molecular and cellular tools to investigate the mechanisms that underlie neuronal stress response and their dysregulation in neurodegenerative diseases. I will focus on novel insights that we gained on organelles and organellar signaling particularly critical for neurons to sense and respond to stress. I will briefly summarize, in the context of Parkinson’s disease, my studies on transcriptionally dependent survival mechanisms in the nucleus and mitochondria, proteostasis in lysosomes and inter-organelle signaling between ER and lysosomes, and unpublished findings of unexpected regulation and role of chloride in lysosomal function. I will highlight our effort in developing therapeutics based on our mechanistic discoveries.The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics.

Mathematics Colloquium Series2:00pmSpeaker: Ryan Goh, Boston University
Title: “Fronts and patterns with parameter ramps”Abstract: Pattern formation in the presence of slowly-varying spatio-temporal heterogeneities has application in diverse areas, including biology, chemistry, and fluid dynamics. Using prototypical PDE models, this talk will discuss front and patterned solutions in the presence of parameter ramps which moderate the instability of a homogeneous equilibrium state. We will discuss ramps which vary slowly in space, and rigidly propagate in time, as well as those which are slowly-vary in time, but are homogeneous in space. In the former, we will show how the front location and selected pattern is governed by slow passage between convective and absolute instability. We find this passage can be characterized as a slow passage near a fold bifurcation using projective coordinates and geometric singular perturbation theory. If the ramp does not propagate, then fronts are governed by slow-passage through a pitchfork bifurcation and a connecting solution of the Painléve-II equation. In the latter case of a homogeneous temporal quench, we show a pointwise linearized analysis paired with a Burgers’ modulational approximation can predict the front location and selected wavenumber of the patterned front.
Join us before the talk at 2:00 pm for tea with our speaker.

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar1:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Fernando Charro, Wayne State University
Title: “Asymptotic Mean Value Formulas for Nonlinear Equations”
Abstract: In recent years there has been an increasing interest in whether a mean value property, known to characterize harmonic functions, can be extended in some weak form to solutions of nonlinear equations. This question has been partially motivated by the surprising connection between Random Tug-of-War games and the normalized p-Laplacian discovered some years ago by Peres et al., where a nonlinear asymptotic mean value property for solutions of a PDE is related to a dynamic programming principle for an appropriate game. In this talk, we discuss asymptotic mean value formulas for a class of nonlinear second-order equations that includes the classical Monge-Ampère and k-Hessian equations among other examples.The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.
This seminar will be held virtually.

Math Talks Seminar Series3:00pmSpeaker: Dr. Thomas McConville, Kennesaw State University
Title: "Hyperbinary partitions and q-deformed rationals"
Abstract: In 2000, Calkin and Wilf published a beautiful way of listing all the positive rational numbers as ratios of consecutive entries in an integer sequence originally defined by Stern in 1858. I will present a “q-analogue” that enumerates the q-deformed rational numbers recently defined by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko as ratios of consecutive entries in a sequence of polynomials. These polynomials are defined by counting certain integer sequences called hyperbinary partitions. This talk is based on joint work with James Propp and Bruce Sagan.The Department of Mathematics Math Talks Seminar Series is open to all KSU faculty, students, and invited visitors to present any math or math-related topic. Seminars typically require little or no advanced mathematical knowledge and are open to anyone.

CSM Student Workshop: Best Practices When Perspectives Differ and the Stakes are High4:30pmWhen you disagree with your classmates, what do you do?
CSM majors are highly encouraged to join the college for this workshop on how to resolve conflicts when perspectives differ and the stakes are high.
When stakes are high and perspectives differ—whether in student meetings, cross-disciplinary teams, or the classroom—disagreement can quickly become unproductive or even damaging. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and real-world academic settings, participants will learn why disagreement often triggers automatic responses that hinder judgment and connection and gain practical, evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes when beliefs, opinions, or interpretations diverge.

Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series12:20pmSpeaker: Dr. Zizu Mao, Emory University
Title: "An Organelle-Centric View of Neuronal Stress Response and Therapeutics in Parkinson’s Disease”
Abstract: The talk will summarize how my lab uses molecular and cellular tools to investigate the mechanisms that underlie neuronal stress response and their dysregulation in neurodegenerative diseases. I will focus on novel insights that we gained on organelles and organellar signaling particularly critical for neurons to sense and respond to stress. I will briefly summarize, in the context of Parkinson’s disease, my studies on transcriptionally dependent survival mechanisms in the nucleus and mitochondria, proteostasis in lysosomes and inter-organelle signaling between ER and lysosomes, and unpublished findings of unexpected regulation and role of chloride in lysosomal function. I will highlight our effort in developing therapeutics based on our mechanistic discoveries.The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics. Guest speakers come from local, regional, and national universities to share their research work.

Mathematics Colloquium Series2:00pmSpeaker: Dr. Jacob Matherne, North Carolina State University
Title: “Chow functions for partially ordered sets”Abstract: Three decades ago, Stanley and Brenti initiated the study of the Kazhdan–Lusztig–Stanley (KLS) theory. To each kernel in a graded poset, he associates special functions called KLS polynomials. This unifies and puts on common ground several important theories in combinatorics and representation theory: (i) the classical Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial of a Bruhat interval in a Coxeter group, (ii) the toric g-polynomial of a polytope, and (iii) the Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial of a matroid. In this talk, I will develop a theory that parallels the KLS theory by introducing a new family of functions, called Chow functions, that encode various deep cohomological aspects of the above-mentioned combinatorial objects. In the three respective examples above, the Chow function describes (i) a descent-like statistic enumerator for paths in the Bruhat graph, (ii) the enumeration of chains of faces of the polytope, and (iii) the Hilbert series of the matroid Chow ring. This is joint work with Luis Ferroni and Lorenzo Vecchi.
Join us before the talk at 2:00 pm for tea with our speaker.

Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series12:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Andrew McShan, Georgia Institute of Technology
Title: "Generative Diffusion-Based De Novo Protein Design of New Therapeutics to Fight Disease"
Abstract: De novo protein design has experienced a renaissance in recent years due to advances in generative diffusion-based approaches to develop high affinity, target-specific binders. However, the ability of these tools to generate “new-to-nature” proteins with unique backbones and amino acid sequences that target challenging therapeutic targets, such as lipids and oligomeric assemblies, has not yet been explored. Here, we apply an end-to-end design pipeline using RFdiffusionAA, LigandMPNN, Chai-1, and Rosetta to develop (1) lipid antigen/CD1-restricted T cell receptor (TCR) mimics, and (2) proteins that disassemble bacterial pathogen type III secretion systems. Designed proteins were recombinantly expressed in E. coli with secondary structure folds and thermal stabilities validated in vitro. Biophysical assays confirmed that the designs bound to their molecular targets with high affinity and specificity. Finally, X-ray crystallography and solution NMR provided mechanistic insights into the design/target binding modes, which were consistent with the computational design models. Together, our results demonstrate that generative diffusion-based de novo protein design approaches can robustly produce new binders against unconventional targets. This work will enable new therapeutic avenues for diagnostics, antimicrobial agents, immunotherapy, and vaccine development centered on protein design.Bio: Dr. McShan's expertise spans biophysics, structural biology, computational biology, and immunology. They joined the faculty at Georgia Tech as an Assistant Professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry in Summer 2022. Previously, they were a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Nikolaos Sgourakis at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia & The University of Pennsylvania (2020-2022) studying antigen presentation of classical peptide/MHC-I molecules. Before that, they were also with Dr. Sgourakis at the University of California, Santa Cruz (2016-2020). They also worked as a biotechnology intern in the lab of Y. John Wang at Genentech (2015). They obtained their Ph.D. in Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology at the University of Kansas in the lab of Dr. Roberto De Guzman (2011-2016) studying bacterial type III section systems. They carried out undergraduate research in epigenetics (also at KU) in the lab of Dr. Justin Blumenstiel. Dr. McShan has received many prestigious awards and honors including the NSF CAREER Award (2025), the Shurl and Kay Curci Foundation Research Grant (2024), Thank A Teacher Certificates; Georgia Tech Center for Teaching and Learning and the Inclusive STEM Teaching Fellow, Georgia Tech (2023).
The Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series covers a broad range of fields in the Chemical and Biochemical Sciences.

Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar1:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Konstantinos Bessas, University of Pavia
Title: “Regularity aspects of a class of nonlocal total variation-based image denoising models”
Abstract: Image denoising is a core problem in image processing, consisting in finding a regular approximation of a given degraded image. In this seminar we will first survey the deeply investigated class of total-variation based denoising models highlighting their main features. We will then focus our attention on denoising models whose regularizing term is a nonlocal total variation induced by a singular kernel. Specifically, we will study the fidelity of the solutions of these models to the initial data as well as their smoothness. Finally, we will discuss the relationship between the jump sets of the regularized images and the ones of the initial data. Part of the results that we will present was obtained in collaboration with Giorgio Stefani (University of Padova) and part is based on an ongoing project with Antonin Chambolle (CEREMADE, CNRS & Université Paris-Dauphine).The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.
This seminar will be held virtually.

Math Talks Seminar Series4:00pmSpeaker: Jesse Todd, Kennesaw State University
Title: "Deriving and Applying Catalan Numbers"
Abstract: This presentation will explore the unity between seemingly different counting problems, such as determining the number of valid parenthesis expressions and the number of paths on a grid that never cross below a boundary. It will demonstrate that these problems are all governed by the same sequence—the Catalan numbers. A central recurrence relation will be derived from a simple counting argument and then solved to obtain the Catalan Number Formula. No prior knowledge beyond basic combinatorics is required.The Department of Mathematics Math Talks Seminar Series is open to all KSU faculty, students, and invited visitors to present any math or math-related topic. Seminars typically require little or no advanced mathematical knowledge and are open to anyone.

Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series12:20pmSpeaker: Dr. Michael Van Dyke, Kennesaw State University
Title: “FUR family transcriptional regulators in Thermus thermophilus HB8”
Abstract: The model extreme thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB8 possesses three genes that encode ferric uptake regulatory (FUR)-related transcriptional regulators, TTHA0255, TTHA0344, and TTHA1292. We found that TTHA1292 is a ZUR that suppresses the expression of elements of an ABC transporter involved in zinc uptake, and TTHA0344 is a bi-functional regulator that can inhibit manganese importer expression while activating iron importer expression when high manganese concentrations are present (1, 2). Here we report that TTHA0255 avidly binds a consensus sequence 5’-YTUgAaynutTcYAU-3’, which is present at multiple sites within the T. thermophilus HB8 genome. Curiously, DNA binding by TTHA0255 does not require, nor is affected by, a labile metal cofactor, unlike other FUR proteins. Additionally, the deletion of the TTHA0255 gene causes a growth defect under optimal conditions, a characteristic not shared by other FUR genes. Our latest results with RNA-seq data should provide additional insights into the potential biological roles of this atypical FUR-family transcriptional regulator.The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics. Guest speakers come from local, regional, and national universities to share their research work. The MBIG seminar will take place in-person on Fridays from 12:20 – 1:45 pm in the Clendenin Building, room CL 2010. All faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to attend.

Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series12:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Chayan Dutta, Georgia State University
Title: "Decoding the Plastic Crisis under the Microscope"
Abstract: Plastic nanoparticles (PNPs) pose significant environmental and health concerns due to their potential adverse effects on biological systems. Understanding nanoscale interactions of PNPs is critical, particularly regarding how PNPs impact membrane properties and protein stability. The small size and high surface-to-volume ratio of PNPs facilitate interactions with lipid membranes, leading to structural modifications and longterm accumulation within membranes, ultimately resulting in functional changes. Also, theoretical predictions suggest that PNPs can disrupt the secondary structure of proteins through partial or complete denaturation. Such irreversible changes in protein structures are detrimental to the function of the native proteins. Despite theoretical predictions, direct experimental evidence remains limited. My group's current research is focused on understanding these nanoscale effects using various high-resolution optical microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. I will discuss our recent efforts to understand transport dynamics and interactions of PNPs with biomimetic lipid surfaces, including 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and ganglioside GM1-POPC membranes, using single-particle tracking (SPT) and super-resolution diffusion analysis (fcsSOFI). Our
results show that charged PNPs exhibit salt-dependent transport behavior, with increased confinement in higher ionic environments.Biography: Dr. Chayan Dutta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Georgia State University, with affiliations at the Center for Diagnostics & Therapeutics (CDT) and the Brains & Behavior center at the Department of Neuroscience. He received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Southern California in 2017, advised by Prof. Alexander Benderskii, where he worked on understanding hydrogen bonding at interfaces using nonlinear spectroscopy. He carried out his postdoctoral research at Rice University with Prof. Christy Landes, working on various superresolution and single-particle techniques. His lab focuses on exploring nanoscale surface effects using single particle methods and surface sensitive spectroscopy. Chayan has been awarded the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research (ACS PRF) Fund Doctoral New Investigator (DNI) Award in 2023, selected as a Scialog Fellow for Neurobiology in the Changing Ecosystem (NCE) by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, and received the 2025 Scialog Collaborative Innovation Award.

Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series12:20pmSpeaker: Dr. Cheryl Maier, Emory University
Title: “Sticky Blood - from Phenomenology to Pathogenesis in Thromboinflammation”
Abstract: With the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Dr. Maier participated in a multidisciplinary care team that reported the novel observation of blood hyperviscosity in critically ill adult COVID patients. She spent the next 3 years investigating drivers of severe disease and uncovered a unique mechanism by which pathologically-elevated fibrinogen induces red blood cell aggregates that mechanically injure the vascular endothelium. Her group continues to investigate the rheological consequences of inflammation and novel treatment strategies to mitigate thrombosis, not only in acute viral infection but other conditions like stroke, cancer and sepsis.The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics. Guest speakers come from local, regional, and national universities to share their research work. The MBIG seminar will take place in-person on Fridays from 12:20 – 1:45 pm in the Clendenin Building, room CL 2010. All faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to attend.
Physics Colloquium1:00pmSpeaker: Dr. Andrew Jones, Sandia National Laboratories and KSU alumni (2018)
Title: "Meshfree Methods for Complex Geometries in Computational Physics"
Abstract: Traditional numerical methods struggle with complex geometries and moving boundaries. This talk introduces meshfree approaches—particularly radial basis function finite difference (RBF-FD) and generalized moving least squares (GMLS)—that eliminate the need for mesh generation while maintaining high-order accuracy. Applications include solving PDEs on irregular surfaces and Particle-in-Cell plasma simulations for ion mobility spectrometry. Drawing on real-world examples from Sandia National Laboratories, such as SF₆ leak detection, the talk demonstrates how these flexible numerical frameworks enable simulations directly on complex point clouds, offering powerful alternatives to traditional finite element methods for challenging computational physics problems.Light refreshments will be available prior to the talk.
Teaching in a Pluralistic Classroom: Civility, Respect, and Constructive Dialogue1:00pmTeaching in a Pluralistic Classroom: Civility, Respect, and Constructive Dialogue
Facilitator: Sherrill Hayes
" In a pluralistic classroom, students bring a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and approaches to learning. Faculty play a critical role in modeling civility as an academic practice, helping students learn to engage across differences with curiosity, mutual respect, and intellectual rigor. CETL is pleased to host this interactive workshop where guest facilitator Dr. Sherrill Hayes, AVP, will introduce Interfaith America’s Respect–Relate–Cooperate framework as a guide to engaging differences productively. Drawing on principles from constructive conflict engagement and the Difficult Conversations model, participants will explore:
-What civility really means in an academic context (beyond politeness)
-How to cultivate a climate of respect that supports dialogue rather than debate
-Practical ways to relate across differing perspectives, even when values or experiences clash
-Strategies to navigate tense moments while preserving trust and maintaining focus on learning goals
Participants will leave with tools for structuring discussions, responding to conflict in the classroom, and creating opportunities for students to engage across lines of difference in meaningful ways."

Discrete Mathematics Seminar (DMS)2:30pmSpeaker: Dr. Nicholas Mayers, Kennesaw State University
Title: “The Quantum k-Bruhat Order”
Abstract: Finding combinatorial interpretations for the structure constants of Schubert polynomials is a long-standing open problem in algebraic combinatorics. In the case where one of the Schubert polynomials is a Schur polynomial, the structure constants are encoded in a poset called the “k-Bruhat order”. In studying the k-Bruhat order, Bergeron and Sottile were led to introduce a monoid which encodes the chain structure of the k-Bruhat order. Using the monoid structure, the authors were able to establish properties and descriptions of certain structure constants. In this talk, after outlining the developments mentioned above, we discuss ongoing work concerning an analogous story for quantum Schubert polynomials and an associated quantum k-Bruhat order. This is joint work with Laura Colmenarejo.The Discrete Math Seminar (DMS) is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of algebra, number theory, and discrete mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions.

Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series12:20pmSpeaker: Dr. Katie Billmyre, University of Georgia
Title: “Unique chromosome dynamics during meiosis”
Abstract: There is a wealth of evidence in humans and many other species that inherent differences between chromosomes, such as size, structure, and composition, exist and can lead to chromosome-specific behaviors during meiosis. Understanding how chromosomes are identified as unique by the meiotic machinery is key to determining how individual chromosomes undergo meiosis. We use Drosophila to investigate the ways in which chromosomal differences can result in meiotic errors and infertility.The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics. Guest speakers come from local, regional, and national universities to share their research work. The MBIG seminar will take place in-person on Fridays from 12:20 – 1:45 pm in the Clendenin Building, room CL 2010. All faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to attend.

Mathematics Colloquium Series2:00pmSpeaker: Shrey Aryan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Title: “Formation of liquid droplets under radial weights: a first classification”Abstract: A good model describing droplets at thermodynamical equilibrium consists in volume constrained solutions of the surface tension combined with a potential gradient arising from an external potential field. With the main goal of approaching these phenomena in curved ambient spaces, in a recent work joint with Lauro Silini (IST Austria) we prove a first classification of minimizers for a rich family of radial weights. We also provide counter examples to show that, in contrast with the weighted isoperimetric case, stability of centered spheres in general does not imply global minimality. Time permitting, we will discuss a quantitative sharp stability result based on the previous classification.
Join us before the talk at 2:00 pm for tea with our speaker.

MAPPING RESTING-STATE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY (EEG) ONTO MOTOR IMAGERY FOR CROSS-SUBJECT BRAIN–COMPUTER INTERFACE APPLICATIONS
On
Tuesday, November 18th at 8:30 AM
Atrium Building, Room J1223Abstract
This dissertation proposes a framework for reducing subject-specific calibration requirements in motor imagery (MI) brain–computer interface (BCI) systems by using resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) as a predictive marker of MI characteristics. Traditional MI-BCI models suffer from severe inter-subject variability and non-stationarity, requiring each user to provide extensive MI data for model training, an impractical barrier for real-world and clinical use. To address this, the study investigates whether intrinsic resting-state dynamics can infer an individual’s MI signal patterns and inform cluster-based model generalization. Using data from multiple benchmark EEG datasets (BCI Competition IV-2a and PhysioNet), spectral and connectivity features of resting EEG were analyzed to identify hemispheric asymmetries and cluster subjects into physiologically homogeneous groups. Deep learning classifiers trained within these rest-informed clusters were evaluated for MI decoding performance under minimal or zero training conditions. Results demonstrate that subjects exhibiting resting-state hemispheric dominance show correspondingly stronger lateralized MI responses, validating the predictive relationship between rest and task states. Furthermore, models trained within these rest-based clusters achieved significantly higher cross-subject accuracy compared to mixed-subject baselines, reducing the dependence on individualized calibration. This work establishes resting-state EEG as both a meaningful neurophysiological descriptor and a practical calibration surrogate, offering a pathway toward plug-and-play MI-BCI systems. The findings have direct implications for assistive technologies such as EEG-controlled wheelchairs and broader applications in adaptive neuroengineering, where resting-state activity can inform user-specific adaptation without additional task data.

Math Talks Seminar Series4:00pmSpeaker: Isaiah Davis, Kennesaw State University
Title: "Exploring Ordinary Differential Equations of Higher Orders and the use of the Laplace transforms to solve for current inside of an LRC circuit"
Abstract: In this presentation the topics that will be covered are the different components that are used inside of a circuit along with their functions, the different kinds of circuits particularly if every attachment is connected into a series circuit or a parallel, and what makes the two different from one another. Additionally, the relationship between mathematics, physics, and engineering will be demonstrated by showing how to solve for the current through an LRC circuit with each component attached to one another in series by using Kirchhoff’s Voltage law to acquire our higher order differential equation and then solve it using the Laplace transform. Lastly, at the conclusion of the presentation there will be an example of a differential equation demonstrating the relationship of charge versus time and we will use what is known about charges to figure out the current versus time function. We will finish by explaining why the selected method is the most effective approach versus others.The Department of Mathematics Math Talks Seminar Series is open to all KSU faculty, students, and invited visitors to present any math or math-related topic.

Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series12:20pmSpeaker: Dr. Teresa Lee, University of Massachusetts Lowell
Title: “Transgenerational longevity requires DAF-12 germline-to-soma signaling in C. elegans”
Abstract: Generational studies suggest that the experiences of ancestors can affect the health of their descendants, in part by altering how genomes are packaged as chromatin. We have developed a novel C. elegans model for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance to examine how heritable chromatin landscapes affect gene regulation and complex traits like lifespan. To examine the mechanism of transgenerational lifespan extension, we test the involvement of DAF-12, a nuclear hormone receptor required for germline-to-somatic signaling. Taken together, these findings highlight the complex relationship between chromatin state and germline-to-soma signaling during important life history decisions.The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics. Guest speakers come from local, regional, and national universities to share their research work. The MBIG seminar will take place in-person on Fridays from 12:20 – 1:45 pm in the Clendenin Building, room CL 2010. All faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to attend.
