Title : Computational and Physical Understanding of Biological Information Processing

TSVP Symposium linked to Thematic Program on "Computational and Physical Understanding of Biological Information Processing"

In this talk, Bianca Oudshoff explores how to move beyond academic publishing to create real-world impact by collaborating with industry, policymakers, and entrepreneurs. It highlights pathways for translating research into practical solutions, the challenges of launching science-based businesses, and the importance of interdisciplinary and international collaboration. Through real-world examples and personal insights, the talk provides practical guidance on how to bridge the gap between research and innovation.

Are you new to OIST? Or have you been here for a while, but still enjoy meeting new people? Are you a family member looking to connect with other OISTers and their families? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then join us for a fun evening! We will kick things off with a short get-to-know-everyone game, followed by 1:1 chats.

Periodic homogenization for non-local stable-like operators Professor Takashi Kumagai Waseda University Abstract :

Homogenization has been a very active area of research in both PDE and probability theory for many years. In this talk, we will first review classical results on periodic homogenization for divergence form operators. We will then present our recent results on periodic homogenization for non-local, stable-like operators. Both qualitative and quantitative results will be discussed. Moreover, we will explore quantitative periodic homogenization on bounded domains, where the rate of convergence near the boundary slows down
