An important observation from these studies is that the trajectories of living organisms are often poorly described by the classical model for random movement, Brownian motion. To paraphrase Tolstoy: Brownian diffusions are all alike, but every anomalous diffusion is anomalous in its own way. In this talk, Scott McKinley will survey these findings and highlight the mathematical and statistical challenges they pose. In the end, he will contemplate how statistically informed mathematical modeling could change the way experiments are conducted and potentially transform our understanding of how our bodies interact with viruses, bacteria, and more.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/sse.tulane.edu\/math\/faculty\/mckinley\u0022 rel=\u0022nofollow noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EMcKinley\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is an associate professor in the mathematics department at Tulane University. He studies stochastic processes and their applications to characterizing movement in biological systems. He attained his Ph.D. at the Ohio State University, working on theoretical aspects of stochastic partial differential equations. Since then, he has engaged in multiple collaborations with experimentalists who have collected data sets tracking the movement of organisms big and small.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWEBINAR SCHEDULE\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E4:45 - 5:00 PM ET Webinar waiting room opens\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E5:00 - 6:15 PM ET Talk + Q\u0026amp;A\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegistration is required for this free event.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFurther instructions and access to join the webinar will be sent to all registrants upon sign up.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/anomalous-diffusion-of-microparticles-in-biological-fluids-registration-148026748991\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/anomalous-diffusion-of-microparticles-in-biological-fluids-registration-148026748991\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"by Simons Foundation Lectures"}],"uid":"35702","created_gmt":"2021-04-05 19:47:32","changed_gmt":"2021-04-05 19:56:36","author":"mb121","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-04-07T17:45:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-04-07T19:15:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-04-07T19:15:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-04-07 21:45:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-04-07 23:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-04-07 23:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/anomalous-diffusion-of-microparticles-in-biological-fluids-registration-148026748991","title":"Link to Registration"}],"groups":[{"id":"604684","name":"Southeast Center for Mathematics and Biology (SCMB)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
