  Discrete Math Seminar X Analysis and Applied Math Seminar

  2:30pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 120

  Speaker: Dr. Anastasios Fragkos, Georgia Institute of Technology

  Title: Szemeredi's Theorem Along Cantor Sets of Integers

  Abstract: Let $\mathcal C= \{k_1<k_2 < \cdots\}$ be a Cantor set of integers, that is a set of integers with restricted digits modulo a base $b$, and suppose $0$ is one of the restricted digits. For any measure preserving dynamical system $(X, \mathcal{A}, m, T)$, we show that  

  $$

  \liminf_{N \rightarrow \infty}  \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n = 1}^{N}  m(A\cap T^{-k_n} A \cap \cdots \cap T^{-\ell k_n} A )>0. 

  $$

  for any measurable set $A \in \mathcal A$ with measure $m(A) > 0$.

   

  In particular, this implies that, for any set of integers $B$ with positive upper Banach density,  there is a set $N$ of indices with positive lower Banach density such that $B$ contains an $\ell+1$ term arithmetic progression, with common difference $k_n \in \mathcal C$, where $n \in N$.

   

  This is a joint event between the Discrete Math Seminar and Analysis and Applied Math Seminar series. 

   

  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.

   

  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. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Mathematics Colloquium Series

  2:30pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 218

  Speaker: Dr. Brian Choi, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
  Title: “From lattices to waves: bridging discrete and continuous dynamics in nonlinear dispersive systems”

  Abstract: Many nonlinear wave phenomena can be described either by discrete lattice models, arising in computation and structured media, or by continuous partial differential equations. A natural question is: when do these two descriptions produce the same dynamics?

   

  In this talk, I will discuss this discrete-to-continuum connection for nonlinear dispersive equations of Schrödinger type. Starting from lattice models, I will outline how one can rigorously show convergence to continuum equations, highlighting the role of mathematical analysis. I will also explain how lattice effects such as weak dispersion and aliasing influence the dynamics, and how these challenges can be overcome. On the other hand, there are regimes where the discrete and continuum do not agree, and this will be discussed as well.

   

  These results provide a mathematical foundation for understanding when discrete simulations accurately capture continuous wave behavior, offering insight into both analysis and numerical modeling of nonlinear dispersive systems.

   

  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.

  Title: Bismuth-based Bicyclic Peptide Inhibitors Targeting Main Protease of SARS-CoV-2
  Abstract: The emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and the resultant COVID-19 disease represent the foremost public health crisis of this century, exerting a profound impact on the global economy as well as human health and lives. The main protease (Mpro) is a vital protease that facilitates viral replication. Inhibition of this viral protease enzyme blocks the formation of functional viral proteins required for the viral life cycle. Peptide therapeutics are very attractive as they are highly selective, have good tolerability, and have fewer adverse effects. However, they aren’t without limitations, which include poor metabolic stability, membrane permeability, and oral bioavailability. Bicycling has been found to overcome these limitations. The Temporin-like peptide (TLP) derived from frog’s skin has been previously studied by our group and found to effectively inhibit the main protease. In this study, all linear TLP peptides containing three cysteines have been synthesized using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), characterized by LC-MS. Bismuth-based bicyclic analogs were synthesized by adding tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) and Bismuth (III) bromide. A pale-yellow coloration indicated the formation of a bicyclic product, which was centrifuged, reprecipitated, lyophilized, and characterized. The inhibitory effect of the Bismuth-based bicyclic peptide on the activity of the main protease of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been analyzed using FRET and selected ion monitoring (SIM) based LC-MS assays. Bi-3CTLP1 showed IC50 values of 11.47 µM in FRET and 13.61 µM in LCMS assays, respectively, whereas Bi-3CTLP2 demonstrated IC50 values of 12.99 µM in FRET and 18.04 µM in LCMS. The Michaelis-Menten kinetics results showed that the velocity of the product formation significantly decreased while the concentration of Bi-3CTLP1 increased from 5 μM to 20 μM. An analysis of the Lineweaver-Burk Plot revealed that Bi-3CTLP1 peptide can act as a noncompetitive inhibitor which can bind to free enzyme as well as the enzyme-substrate complex. In addition, compared to their linear counterparts, bicyclic peptides showed strong intestinal stability up to the incubation period of four hours.

  Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series

  12:30pm

  at Clendenin Building, CL 1009

  Speaker: Dr. Bin Zhao, University of Tennessee - Knoxville
  Title: "Stimuli-Responsive Molecular Bottlebrush Polymers"
  Abstract: Molecular bottlebrushes (MBBs) are a special type of graft copolymers composed of polymeric side chains densely grafted on a backbone polymer. These soft materials have shown promise in a variety of applications, ranging from photonic crystals to drug delivery systems, lubricants, and supersoft elastomers. In this talk, I will present our work on stimuli-responsive MBBs, which contain either thermo- or pH-responsive water-soluble polymers in the side chains. Single-component stimuli-responsive MBBs are shown to undergo pronounced worm-to-globule shape transitions. However, the collapsed MBBs aggregate and precipitate out from solution, which limits their potential applications. To overcome this problem, we introduce a second polymer into the side chains to stabilize the collapsed bottlebrushes and demonstrate unimolecular shape transitions. By utilizing the unique characteristics of MBBs and the properties of stimuli-responsive polymers, we show that properly designed MBBs are efficient, robust, and responsive emulsifiers, exhibiting the properties of both polymer and solid particle surfactants. Even with the use of only 0.01 wt% MBBs, two orders in magnitude lower than common amphiphiles, stable emulsions of toluene and water can be generated and are readily disrupted upon changing the pH. The emulsions exhibit exceptional stability as manifested by interfacial wrinkling upon reducing the interfacial area. The wrinkling indicates very high interfacial binding energies of MBBs at the oil-water interface, presumably arising from the large molecular size and the Janus architecture. These stimuli-responsive MBBs may find applications in drug delivery, enhanced oil recovery, all liquid printing and other emerging technologies.

   

  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.

  Using Discussions Effectively in Online Courses

  1:00pm

  Click Here to Register

  Do 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.

  Mathematics Colloquium x Applied Mathematics in Industry Seminar Series

  2:30pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 218

  Speaker: Dr. Kexue Zhang, Queen’s University
  Title: “Feedback control relies on state measurements to steer dynamical systems toward desired stability and performance objectives.”

  Abstract: While classical approaches update control inputs continuously or at fixed sampling rates, event-triggered control offers a more resource-aware alternative: control updates occur only when the system state violates a prescribed condition. This state-dependent mechanism reduces unnecessary updates while preserving rigorous stability guarantees. In this talk, I will focus on event-triggered control strategies for time-delay systems. Time delays arise naturally in models involving transmission, processing, or memory effects, and they introduce significant analytical challenges, particularly in stability analysis. I will present recent results on the stabilization of time-delay systems using event-triggered mechanisms, emphasizing the mathematical framework underlying the triggering design, Lyapunov-based stability analysis, and conditions ensuring the exclusion of Zeno behavior. This talk is based on joint work with Elena Braverman and Bahman Gharesifard.

   

  This is a joint event between the Mathematics Colloquium series and the Applied Mathematics in Industry Seminar series. 

   

  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.

   

  The Applied Mathematics in Industry Seminar (AMIS) series is primarily focused on highlighting how mathematics is used in various careers and is geared toward undergraduates. Seminars typically require little or no advanced mathematical knowledge and are open to anyone.

  Title: Synthesis and Characterization of Water Containing Deep Eutectic Solvent and its Application for PFAS Removal
  Abstract: Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been studied extensively to replace traditional solvents due to their greener characteristics such as adaptability, biodegradability, and low toxicity. DESs are primarily a mixture of two substances: hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) in a specific molar ratio that can interact through large hydrogen bonds. This mixture forms a eutectic solvent by significantly lowering the freezing points of the individual constituents because of a network of non-covalent bonds between them. DESs are used in many applications that benefit from their unique characteristics, including extractions and other separations, chemical and material synthesis, catalysis, and protein stability. Unfortunately, the high viscosity of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) poses significant challenges that restrict their effectiveness in critical applications such as extraction, separation, electrodeposition, battery energy storage, and drug delivery. Incorporating water as a cosolvent dramatically enhances the properties of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) by significantly reducing their viscosity and density. This transformation paves the way for a wide array of innovative applications, making DESs even more versatile and effective in various fields. This study aims to synthesize water containing various types of DESs and investigate how water impact the formation of DESs, its phase behavior and eutectic points. Type III (Choline chloride, Betain and Choline bromide) and type V DESs (sugar based DESs) were synthesized with and without the presence of water. The DES formation was confirmed by the attenuated total reflection (ATR) coupled with IR spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and principal component analysis (PCA). Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are extensively used in consumer products due to their heat, oil, and degradation resistance. Common items like nonstick cookware, cleaners, firefighting foams, and Styrofoam can release PFAS into soil and water. While activated carbon and reverse osmosis can remove PFAS from water, they are expensive, slow, and inefficient. In contrast, deep eutectic solvents (DES) offer a cheaper, non-toxic, and eco-friendly alternative for PFAS extraction. A series of deep eutectic solvents were tested to determine which combinations of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors produce efficient alternative routes of extracting PFAS chemicals from water source. DESs showed an efficiency rate between 69.49% to 98.02%. Menthol and Octanoic Acid DES produced a higher efficiency rate of 98.02%, which is comparable to other filtration processes, but offers a cost-effective method for PFAS extraction from water.

  Title: Design and Development of Peptide Inhibitors Targeting Alpha-Synuclein for Parkinson’s Diseases
  Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting approximately 1 million individuals in the United States over the age of 65, and nearly 10 million people worldwide. A central hallmark of PD is the pathological aggregation of α-synuclein, an intrinsically disordered protein that forms toxic fibrils leading to neuronal degeneration. While current therapies primarily address symptoms, they do not prevent disease progression, highlighting the need for disease-modifying strategies. Peptidomimetics, which occupy a therapeutic niche between small molecules and large biologics, are now gaining increasing popularity. This study aims to design, synthesis, and evaluate peptide inhibitors targeting the α-synuclein aggregation. Initial peptide candidates were selected based on computational screening against alpha-synuclein and the top candidate peptide was modified to include α-methylated phenylalanine. We hypothesize that installation of two α-methyl phenylalanine at one-helical turn will result in pi-pi interaction between two restricted phenyl rings at the same side of the peptide leading to high yield stapled peptides since this new technique will not require catalyst or additional synthetic steps. All peptide analogues were synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis, producing resin-bound peptides subsequently cleaved with 95% trifluoroacetic acid. Synthesis of the peptides was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The binding affinity between peptide and α-synuclein was determined using selected ion monitoring (SIM) based liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry technique. The fibril reduction was assessed by Thioflavin T fluorescence assay. Three peptide analogues showed strong binding affinity with dissociation constants (Kd) of 160.4 nM, 51.79 nM and 22.98 nM, respectively. The α-methylated analogue displayed a slightly stronger binding with a Kd value of 21.49 nM. Fluorescence assays confirmed that the best three analogs can moderately reduce the fibril formation from 41.1% to 80.3%, and the α-methylated analogue significantly reduced (89.2%) the fibril formation.  These findings validate a novel stapling strategy and demonstrate the potential of α-methylated peptide as an effective inhibitor of α-synuclein aggregation. This work highlights a rational computational–experimental pipeline for peptide-based therapeutic development and supports further optimization toward disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

  Math Talks Seminar Series

  at Mathematics Building, D 218

  Speaker: Abel Escobar (First-Year Scholar), Kennesaw State University
  Title: "Almgren's Problem"
  Abstract: This project studies a one-dimensional optimization problem motivated by Almgren’s work on energy-minimizing shapes that arise in models of crystal formation. It is in these models where minimizing an energy functional under constraints helps to offer an explanation as to why certain geometric shapes appear in nature. Through a basic simplification of the setting, this Almgren problem is much more easy to approach. I focus on a simplified setting in which the goal is to position an interval of fixed length along a curve so that the area under the curve is minimized, assuming the function is strictly decreasing on negative values and strictly increasing on positive values. This setup captures an important structural feature of more complex variational problems and provides insight into how optimal configurations can be localized. Using tools from calculus, including the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the Intermediate Value Theorem, and the First Derivative Test, I prove that a minimizing interval exists and show that the optimal interval must contain the origin. This localization result is significant because it reduces the search for optimal configurations and reflects behavior observed in higher-dimensional versions of the Almgren problem. Due to the complexity of the problem, MATLAB (a computer software program for mathematics) was used to simulate the area functional and visualize how the minimum changes as the interval shifts, allowing computational experiments to support and illustrate the analytical results. By combining mathematical reasoning with computational methods, this project demonstrates how simplified models can provide meaningful insight into complex geometric optimization problems. The groundwork laid here helps when one seeks to study further these Almgren-type problems in higher dimensions.

  Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar

  2:30pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 120

  Speaker: Joana Pech-Alberich, Brown University
  Title: “Monotonicity of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of regular polygons”
  Abstract: In this talk we will prove a conjecture of Antunes and Freitas (2006): for regular N-sided polygons of fixed area, the first Dirichlet eigenvalue λ₁(N) and the quotients λ₁(N)/λ₁(N+1) are monotonically decreasing in N. Our proof combines two approaches: sharp asymptotic expansions with rigorous error bounds (for N ≥ 64) and computer-assisted proofs using interval arithmetic (for N < 64). This is joint work with Joel Dahne and Javier Gómez-Serrano.

   

  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.

  Mathematics Colloquium Series

  2:30pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 218

  Speaker: Dr. Ruby Kim, University of Michigan Health - Michigan Medicine
  Title: “What Mathematics Can Tell Us About Biological Timing”

  Abstract: Biological rhythms arise across multiple spatial and temporal scales, from the activity of individual cells to organism-level behavior. Mathematical modeling can provide crucial insight into how these rhythms are sustained and influenced by environmental factors. For example, circadian rhythms in the body occur naturally, but how are they influenced by travel, medications, or shift work? In this talk, I will provide an introduction to mathematical modeling of biological rhythms and how we can draw useful insights from mathematical theory. In addition, I will discuss how these concepts can be applied to real-world data, uncovering both interesting mathematics and novel findings related to human health.

   

  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.

  Math Talks Seminar Series

  4:00pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 224

  Speaker: Abdallah Saad (First-Year Scholar), Kennesaw State University
  Title: "Investigating Partial Symmetrization Flows in the Pólya–Szegő Conjecture"
  Abstract: The relationship between symmetry and optimization is of particular importance in many fields. The Pólya–Szegő conjecture, for instance, suggests that regular polygons have an advantageous relationship with principal frequencies, reflecting the broader connection between symmetry and optimization. In the construction of various irregular polygons, it became possible to visualize the effect that partial symmetrization has upon the shapes of those polygons. In analyzing the results of applying multiple iterations of symmetrization upon those polygons, it became possible to identify the ways in which the shapes of those polygons changed. Each of these results indicated that symmetrization leads to a polygon that exhibits more equilaterality and geometric balance than the initial polygon. These findings provide insight into the ways in which increasing symmetry can influence principal frequency.

   

  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.

  MS in Chemical Sciences Thesis Defense

  11:00am

  at Clendenin Building, CL 1009

  Speaker: Nishat Tasnim, MSCB candidate
  Title: Chemical Pressure Effect in the Distorted Kagome Lattice Magnetic Topological Candidates
  Abstract: Magnetic topological semimetals are an exciting class of quantum materials in which the electronic wavefunction coupled magnetic spin configuration is greatly influenced by the topology of the compounds. A prototypical geometrically frustrated system is the Kagome lattice, which provides an ideal platform for exploring candidate topological semimetals due to the unique interplay of geometric frustration, spin-orbit coupling, and strong electronic correlations. The Kagome lattice can host noncollinear and noncoplanar spin textures that can induce topological magnetic states which give rise to the quantum anomalous Hall effect and Weyl semimetallic behavior. Recent attention has been given to the REAgGe (RE= rare earth) family of materials, with non-centrosymmetric P-62m space group, which hosts a distorted Kagome lattice in the network of rare-earth ions. Here we utilize chemical pressure to tune the Kagome lattice distortion and spin configurations, and in turn the nontrivial topological states. We have successfully synthesized Si-doped single-crystalline REAgGe materials, as determined by X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDX. The partial substitution of the smaller Si atoms for the larger Ge atoms creates a positive chemical pressure effect reducing the lattice dimensions. The magnetization reveals a potential influence of the chemical pressure effect on the magnetic frustration and field induced states in these materials. These results will ultimately lead to a better understanding of the interplay between magnetism and topology.

  Discrete Mathematics Seminar

  2:30pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 218

  Speaker: Tanvi Thummar, North Carolina State University
  Title: “m is for meet-congruence”
  Abstract: Lattice congruences and quotients of the weak order on a finite Coxeter group are a rich source of combinatorial insight. In this talk, we will discuss meet-congruences on semilattices. We show that meet-congruences and meet-quotients play a crucial role in the combinatorics of the m-eralized weak order and m-eralized Cambrian lattice associated to a finite Coxeter group. We will also describe an m-version of the descent map and characterize its corresponding meet-congruence. This talk is based on joint work with Nathan Reading.

   

  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. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Title: Comparative Structural and Biophysical Analysis of Chalcone Synthase (CHS) and Chalcone Isomerase-Like (CHIL) Proteins across Plant Lineages
  Abstract: Chalcone synthase (CHS) and chalcone isomerase-like (CHIL) proteins are central regulators of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in land plants. CHS catalyzes the committed step in flavonoid biosynthesis, while CHIL, a catalytically inactive paralog of chalcone isomerase, reduces CHS promiscuity and enhances pathway flux toward naringenin chalcone. Despite growing evidence for CHIL's regulatory importance, comparative structural and biophysical data across evolutionarily diverse plant lineages remain limited. This thesis presents a structural and biophysical investigation of CHS and CHIL proteins from six plant species spanning the major divisions of land plant evolution: Glycine max, Oryza sativa, Gossypium hirsutum, Solanum lycopersicum, Selaginella moellendorffii, and Marchantia polymorpha. Apo crystal structures of OsCHIL and SmoCHIL were determined at 1.825 Å and 1.688 Å resolution, respectively, representing the first structural characterizations of CHIL from a monocot and a lycophyte. A homology model of GmCHIL and a GmCHIL-GmCHS complex model were constructed and used for molecular docking of seven flavonoid ligands. Thermal shift assays confirmed folding quality across all six CHIL orthologs and identified naringenin chalcone as the most promising GmCHIL ligand candidate. Binding assays validated a direct GmCHIL-GmCHS interaction with an apparent K_d of ~5.8–6.6 µM. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed conservation of key functional residues across approximately 400 million years of plant evolution. Together, these results establish a structural and biophysical framework for understanding how CHIL proteins from evolutionarily distinct plant lineages regulate flavonoid biosynthesis.

  Title: Structural and Functional Characterization of a Hypothetical Methyltransferase from Eimeria for Targeted Drug Development against Apicomplexan Parasites
  Abstract: Eimeria tenella is a causative agent of coccidiosis, one of the most economically damaging parasitic diseases in the poultry industry, and the increasing drug resistance of E. tenella highlights the need for new therapeutic targets for drug development. This study characterizes phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PMT) from E. tenella (EtPMT), a key enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine in the phosphobase methylation pathway, as a potential drug target that is highly conserved across apicomplexan parasites. The enzymatic activity of EtPMT was validated by detecting the methylation of phosphoethanolamine to phosphocholine using mass spectrometry, followed by detailed kinetic analyses. Structural analysis using X-ray crystallography determined the apo structure of EtPMT at 2.97 Å resolution, representing the first apicomplexan PMT structure outside of PMT from Plasmodium. Computational analyses, including molecular docking, identified critical active site residues (Asp138, Tyr170, Tyr185, and Arg189) that interact with the substrate and are conserved in Plasmodium PMTs. Site-directed mutagenesis further confirmed the importance of the active site, as substitution of these essential residues resulted in a loss of enzymatic activity. Overall, these findings establish that EtPMT is a conserved and catalytically significant enzyme and a promising drug target for the development of novel therapeutics against parasitic diseases.
