  For 50 years, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet — David Harrington (violin), Gabriela Díaz (violin), Ayane Kozasa (viola) and Paul Wiancko (cello) — has challenged and reimagined what a string quartet can be. Founded at a time when the form was largely centered on long-established Western European traditions, the Kronos Quartet has been at the forefront of revolutionizing the string quartet into a living art form that responds to the people and issues of our time.

  Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series

  12:30pm

  Speaker: 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.

   

   

  The Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series covers a broad range of fields in the Chemical and Biochemical Sciences. In past seminars, scientists from Academia, Government, and Industry have presented their most recent discoveries and contributions in their respective areas. This Seminar Series offers students and faculty the opportunity to interact directly with other leaders in their specializations and to gain a good overview of the entire range of fields in Chemistry and Biochemistry.

  Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series

  12:20pm

  Speaker: 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 Colloquium

  1:00pm

  Speaker: 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 Dialogue

  1:00pm

  Teaching 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)

  2:30pm

  Speaker: 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 series

  12:20pm

  Speaker: 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 Series

  2:00pm

  Speaker: 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.

  will defend a doctoral thesis entitled,

  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 J1223

   

  Abstract

  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 Series

  4:00pm

  Speaker: 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.

  Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series

  12:20pm

  Speaker: 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.
