The UF ABE Biocomplexity Engineering research group (members and collaborators of the ABE Hydrological Modeling Lab Led by Dr. Rafael Muñoz-Carpena) invite you to join our weekly research seminar presentations by a diverse network of researchers in and outside UF ABE, on various topics geared towards learning about complex systems and solutions within the discipline […]

Purushottam Dixit, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Physics University of Florida Title: Thermodynamics as a dimensionality reduction technique Abstract: Advances in omics technologies have allowed a high dimensional characterization of biological systems. However, due to complexity of interactions, bottom-up mechanistic models are not feasible. We need a top-down methods to integrate available data and mechanistic […]

Professor Colina’s Fulbright appointment at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) allowed her to perform research on the crucial area of opioids, and to develop pedagogical materials for use at UNAM and at UF to effectively prepare the next generation of students to work on this and similar medical related projects. Colina’s research in Mexico […]

Johanna C. L. Engström, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Geography University of Florida Title: Analyzing the hydroclimatology of the southeastern U.S. and beyond using GIS and remote sensing Abstract: Drought is one of the of the most severe natural hazards in the United States and globally. In this talk I’ll present an analysis of the […]

Andre Francis Palmer William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering The Ohio State University Title: Engineering a novel dual-functioning therapeutic complex for treatment of hemolytic conditions Abstract: Upon intravascular hemolysis (i.e. red blood cell lysis), cell-free hemoglobin (Hb) is released into the systemic circulation, which may subsequently release its iron-containing ligand – heme. […]

The UF Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering (ISE) is excited to announce the 6th annual career fair. The purpose of this event is to provide undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to network with recruiters in a relaxed setting and talk to companies specifically looking to hire industrial and systems engineers. This year’s virtual […]

Idalis Villanueva Alarcón, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Engineering Education, University of Florida In engineering, the issue of underrepresentation continues to be a topic of high debate amongst engineering departments in the U.S. and internationally. While there have been many approaches to tackling this issue, one underexplored area is around hidden curriculum. The hidden curriculum […]

Presented By: Dr. Alper Atamturk, Ph.D. with the University of California, Berkeley Location: Virtual – Zoom – https://ufl.zoom.us/j/98518592687?pwd=L2NPRkVKMDAvNVhzUGlSdWZRNitQUT09 Title: “Sparse Estimation: Closing the Gap Between L0 and L1 Models” Abstract: Sparse statistical estimators are increasingly prevalent due to their ease of interpretability and superior out-of-sample performance. However, sparse estimation problems with an L0 constraint, restricting […]
